nope  that was not the problem. In other words, I've found the root
cause for this strange behavior. So, here it goes:

User should NOT select the project on the RIGHT side of the
file/project explorer/selector (or whatever you want to call the
selection window). User should select the project on the LEFT side of
that window and everything works flawlessly by traversing the
directory tree from "/" down to desired project and clicking on "+".
Once the user is on the right spot, he/she should highlight the
project and click on "Next". That's it.  The world is bright and shiny
again.

Nope  it did not help. I've followed your advice to the letter. If I
select project on the RIGHT side of the window, IT DOES NOT work.... 
but, if I select the project on the LEFT side ---> everything is OK. 
In other words, DO NOT traverse the tree on the RIGHT side with double
click.

For me, as a newbie, this is a little bit not logical and annoying.
Project selection should work on the LEFT and the RIGHT side in the
same way. Is this QT problem (aka QT widget behavior )? Could it be
fixed in gambas by calling QT widget (file selector) with different
parameters ?
