Run the sample code below on the very latest Swing code on Solaris. There is a JSplitPane with a nested JSplitPane on the right-hand side. Move the focus to one of the components within the nested JSplitPane and hit F8. You are now able to resize the divider with the cursor keys. Hit TAB or CTRL+TAB to get out of the resize mode. Move the focus to the JList on the left-hand side of the outer JSplitPane. Hit F8 again and use the cursor keys to move the divider. Only the first keypress will be executed. All other keypresses do not appear and the focus does not come back (even after hitting TAB). If the Swing window gets overlayed by another window and then brought to the front again the focus comes back.
This does not happen on Win32.
It is also not related to JList (I tried several different components).
It is somehow related to the nesting of JSplitPane, because when I run the example without a nested JSplitPane everything works well.
