The behavior of JTextField and where it positions the cursor is different
depending on whether the JTextField is on a JFrame or a JDialog.


Reproduction:

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

public class Test extends JFrame
{
   public Test()
   {
      Container contentPane = getContentPane();
      contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 1));
      contentPane.add(new JLabel("Press tab - JTextField positions cursor at
start of text"));
      JButton button = new JButton("Dialog");
      contentPane.add(button);
      addTextFields(contentPane);
      button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
      {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
         {
            TestDialog td = new TestDialog();
            td.show();
         }
      });

   }

   class TestDialog extends JDialog
   {
      public TestDialog()
      {
         setTitle("JDialog");
         Container contentPane = getContentPane();
         contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 1));
         contentPane.add(new JLabel("Press tab - JTextField positions cursor at
end of text"));
         contentPane.add(new JButton("dummy"));
         addTextFields(contentPane);
         pack();
      }
   }

   private void addTextFields(Container contentPane)
   {
      TextField text = new TextField("TextField");
      contentPane.add(text);
      JTextField jtext = new JTextField("JTextField");
      contentPane.add(jtext);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      JFrame f = new Test();
      f.setTitle("JFrame");
      f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
      {
         public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
         {
            System.exit(0);
         }
      });

      f.pack();
      f.setVisible(true);
   }
}
