As another person has pointed out, a major rewrite of the focus architecture is in the works for 1.4. Take a look at http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc for an article discussing all the relevant changes, including the focus architecture. At least one of the above bugs, 4309079, is planned to be fixed in 1.3.1 (an interm release before 1.4 that is in beta now). -Scott Violet ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ Swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/swing
