[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 123850] A List of issues with the Mono FileDialog from Windows.Forms

[sir.ab.duke.rar]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mono-runtime

When you run an App which uses the FileDialog (i guess it's named like
this) to select a List of Files (multiple must be enabled in the Source
Code) you can encounter some Problems including a Crash. What's better,
to split that List into multiple Bug's, or to first let someone have a
look at it from the right Team?

How are the Mono-Packages Structured? Where to file this Bugs?

Redesign:
- please implement CTRL+A to select all Files
- please implement a flexible 'new File' function
- please implement a preview for Image Files and other FileTypes
- please optimize the way select multiple Files with pressed Shift-Key to select Files in Order - not in a rectangle Box
- please optimize selection of files, not to end in a - persistent for seconds - file rename box
- please check out the Problem with a *.* Filter - that Filter does only select Files with a dot in the Name! I can't use this then on a Linux box :)
- please implement a way to include other Paths - i will add a few Screenshots

absolutely a Bug:
When you click on the lower of the File View, you may encounter this, crashing the whole application:
