Platforms : Solaris Sparc , Linux Red Hat 7.1

java version used :

java version "1.4.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b81)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b81, mixed mode)


Focus Traversal does not happen in the order in which the components are
added to the Frame . Attached is a test program which adds components to
a frame in the following order .

 1) Button
 2) TextField
 3) List
 4) Choice .


When this program is run, the initial focus will be on the Button . Press "Tab" key till the focus is on the List. At this point when you press "Tab" key the focus should be on the Choice ,whereas in JDK build 81 the focus goes to the
Button . When you keep pressing TAB , at one point you will observe that the focus starts going backwards when it is expected to traverse forward .
(I am not using any User defined Focus Traversal policy )

The same problem happens in Backward Traversal when you press"Shift+ Tab" .

This problem is only seen on Solaris and Linux platforms . Focus Traversal works fine on Windows

Note : This is happening in Build 81 and is not reproducable
on Build 80 .
