I just tried a clean build of r12731 and the left-arrow key does
nothing.  Similarly, the new / and - and ~ shortcuts (which
correspond to the items in the "Commands" menu of the File Browser
dialog) also do nothing.

In addition, when focus is on a tree item in the tree-view, pressing
the above shortcuts simply emits that particular key in the "file
name" text box.  i.e. click on a tree item and press ~ and ~ will
appear in the "file name" text box.

I am using:

java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

The reporter of that bug mentioned that, for him, pressing 
left-arrow would make the File Browser navigate to the root of his 
file system.

For me, pressing the left-arrow always made the File Browser ascend 
by a single level only.  This is a feature I use excessively and my 
ability to navigate the file system is greatly hindered without it: 
  I am now forced to take my hand off the keyboard, move the mouse, 
and click on things.

Thanks for your consideration.
