When using shift TAB with the DefaultFocusManager, and no forward tabbing has
taken place yet, the bug appears. There seems to be no recognition of the cycle
set up by applying the nextFocusableComponent method to the components.

My particular GUI in which the problem was spotted is a JDialog, which contains
a JPanel. The panel in turn contains a JTextField, JTable ( in it's viewport
etc ) , and a futher JPanel (which contains 3 Jbuttons).

On opening the GUI and executing SHIFT TAB's to navigate around the GUI, the
focuscycle set up by the nextFocusableComponent method on each component is
completely ignored. It however works fine if only TAB is used. Once you have
cycled forward through the GUI, the backward cycle works the equivalent number
of times, this seems to be due to the stack set up in the DefaultFocusManager.

This should be pretty easy to replicate, by simply setting up a JDialog of a
similar nature to the one described above.
