Something weird when Manually put the file path in JFileChooser

Question

Here are the steps I got the result
1. copy one file to another directory (copy d:\log\aaa.txt d:\aaa.txt)
2. open the JFileChooser dialog box
3. change to one of the directory in 1. (here I say d:\)
4. click on aaa.txt, and click on it again after 2 sec., and then the name is editable.
5. Ctrl - c to copy the file name ("aaa.txt")
6. key in the path "d:\log\" into the "File Name:" box
7. Ctrl - v to paste the file name "aaa.txt" in to "File Name:" box, so the path name is "d:\log\aaa.txt" now
8. click OK
9. nothing happens...... cannot get the file from JFileChooser after that.
has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks
Jeffrey

      File[] files = jfc.getSelectedFiles();
      if (files != null) {
        System.out.println(files[0]);
    } else {
      System.out.println("Cancelled.");
