[Bug]: Open / Save dialog can fail to open under windows 10/11 when there are duplicate files

[cwisniew]

Describe the Bug

Windows 10/11 allows duplicate file names in a directory as long as one is marked as a special file type and one is not. There is a bug in the JDK where sorting any directory that contains such a duplicate file name is unstable as the special flag is not part of the comparison.

Seee https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305072

To Reproduce

This is actually quite hard to reproduce but 2 people so far have had the issue in discord

Expected Behaviour

It should not fail

Screenshots

No response

MapTool Info

MapTool 1.13 onwards

Desktop

Additional Context

@cwisniew Have you seen any updates about whether this issue was resolved? If not, we can close it off.

And an update on the underlying issue: a PR was recently submitted, so hopefully this will soon be solved in openjdk itself.

@kwvanderlinde It was reported as working in the one off build I did before creating a PR. I have removed it from the project but left it open as once the bug is fixed in the JDK I want to remove the work around.
