The cursor for a password field does not seem to be correctly reset for a
when the field is cleared using setText(""). Please run the following code to
see this problem.

/**
* Simple class to demonstrate a problem (?) with JPasswordField.
* Problem detected on an NT machine running Java version:
*
* C:\>java -version
* java version "1.3.0"
* Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
* Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)
*
* The problem: The cursor does not seem to be correctly reset for a
* JPasswordField when the field is cleared using setText("")
*
* To replicate: Run this class. A dialog is shown 3 times. It prompts
* for a user-id and a password.
*
* When appears for the first time, enter any text (say 5 or 6 chars)
* at BOTH the user-id and password fields. Press the OK button.
*
* When the dialog appears for the SECOND time, enter some text at
* the user-id field and then TAB (ie: do NOT use the mouse) to the
* password field. Note that the cursor is NOT at the start of the
* field, but is still at the end of the previously entered text for
* the field, even through the text is no longer displayed!!
*
* The third display of the dialog is just an example of using the
* Caret of the JPasswordField to force it to display correctly when
* you TAB to the password field.
*
* This problem may (??) be related to bug 4139009
