Description soldatov 2013-06-13 11:12:05 UTC 
I see this problem on Windows only

Scenario:
- Push Tools|Options
- Click on C/C++ icon
- Activate Build Tools tab
- Find "C Compiler" field and Press ... button
==> I see "My Documents" folder
- Select cygwin\bin\gcc.exe
- Find "C++ Compiler" field and Press ... button
==> I see "My Documents" folder
Comment 1 Leonid Lenyashin 2013-06-13 12:57:36 UTC 
Please evaluate against Beta Showstopper status
Comment 2 igor_nikiforov 2013-06-14 10:24:38 UTC 
We have discussed this with Valera and decided that this is not Beta showstopper.

There are plenty of workarounds:
  - user can copy&paste path;
  - user can select correct directory each time (this more or less acceptable as creating a tool collection is rare operation).
Comment 3 Leonid Lenyashin 2013-06-14 10:59:50 UTC 
is it a P2 then?
Comment 4 igor_nikiforov 2013-06-20 11:48:27 UTC 
Looks like the issue was introduced by FileChooser changes. Transferring to Maria for further investigations.

For some reason the validation of current directory happens more when once. And the information about it is lost during second validation.

The breakpoint can be set in ToolCollectionPanel.selectTool.
