Description
To Reproduce please run following code on Linux and on Windows.
#lang racket
(require racket/gui/base)
(get-file)
- On Windows you can create a new folder, on Linux you cannot.
- On Windows you can select a not existing file, on Linux you cannot.
I think get-file should behave on Linux the same as it does on Windows now.
