<Swing Dev> <AWT Dev> JFileChooser: Nullpointer navigating shortcut folder on Windows

[Christiaan]

Dear Pavel, 
I do see the bug again in the bug database, so probably just a temporary
problem. I tried it with jdk 8 b21 but I still get this error. I do see a
difference with the reported bug in the database. I select the desktop
option in the file chooser and next I double click on the available short
cut folder (so I don't do anything in the drop down box as the bug
description). Not displaying the short cut folder as the bug fix shows
probably isn't really a good solution. I get the following error: 

java.lang.InternalError: Unable to bind C:\Users\cdesbouvrie\Desktop\Data -
Shortcut.lnk to parent 
        at
sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$4.call(Win32ShellFolder2.java:414) 

Complete stack trace:
