The problem is that upon starting a JFrame, the first field does
not receive focus. Only by pressing tab (from an unknown
component that is not in the tabbing sequence) does the first
field get focus. Is this correct? At present the workaround
has to be provided on every JFrame, but it would be good to have
it as default behaviour.

The following code reproduces the problem:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;

public class PanelFocus extends JFrame{
 public PanelFocus(){
  super( "First field does not get focus" );
  setSize( 400, 400 );
  Container cp = getContentPane();
  cp.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
  cp.add( new JTextField( "Should have focus" ) );
  cp.add( new JTextField( 5 ) );
  setVisible( true );
 }

 public static void main( String[] args ){
  new PanelFocus();
 }
}

The problem occurred on both NT and OS/2. On NT, 'version' is
JDK1.1.7A, and 'fullversion' is JDK1.1.7U.
