User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
JTable::getInstance quit when the requested file was not found in the first file name matched, even though there may be more file names that match and which might contain the right class. This change keeps it going until it's checked every matching file
This one we may want to talk about..there may be a better place and a better way to fix it. What happens is if you have two files that fit the name, but the first one doesn't have the right class, JTable quits without ever seeing the second one. I can see a discussion, though, about whether we want to enforce good naming conventions. It's an ideal vs real discussion.
I think I have faced the same problem on J3.X:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/joomla/table/table.php#L266
A third 3rd part extension was adding a table path that included the same file name than my extension. The problem here is that is hard to test. I'll try to provide a sample extension for it.

Thanks for coding this, Arlen!
While we’re transitioning to a new integrated tracker, could you report the issue on our current main tracker at JoomlaCode and cross-reference each with a link to the other? Here’s the process for reporting on the other tracker:
http://docs.joomla.org/Filing_bugs_and_issues
Alternatively, let me know if you’d like me to create it for you and I can go ahead and do that.
Thanks in advance and thanks again for coding this, Arlen!
