Description
Context menu entry "open file" from directory window doesn't open a selected file. The entry "open in File Browser" stat windows explorer window in a directory containing the file, so it works fine from my point of view. File > Open works fine.
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

I have the same problem on Ubuntu.

To be more precise: Padre does not open files when it is not inside an implicit project.
I can reproduce the bug with the installed padre, but not with dev.pl

More information: The bug is independent of whether you use the directory tab in an installed Padre or in dev.pl.
Here is how you reproduce it:
- Start Padre with a filename as the argument, and without being in a project directory.
- If not active, activate the directory tab
- Try to open a file from the directory tab, either by double clicking or by choosing the option from the right-click menu
expected result: file opens
actual result: a new tab is created, with the file name as label, but it remains empty
just retested with 0.72 the problem still exists
