No, I am not. I'm doing it like this:

>>> CODE >>>
FXFileDialog dialog( this, "Open World" );
//dialog.setPatternList( "Drag[en]gine XML World (*.world.xml)\nAll
Files(*)" ); // BUG
dialog.setPatternList( "Drag[en]gine XML World (*.xml)\nAll Files(*)" );
dialog.setCurrentPattern( 0 );
dialog.setFilename( GetCurFilename() );
if( dialog.execute( PLACEMENT_OWNER ) =3D=3D TRUE ){ ... }
<<< CODE <<<

If I use the bugged line no *.world.xml file is shown in the dialog. If
I use though the second line they show up ( together with all other xml
files which are not world files ). It looks like the two dots cause
confusion in the file dialog resulting in it no more working.
Restricting the file dialog though to only 1-dot patterns is nowadays sil=
ly.
