RegTest-test javax/swing/JRootPane/bug4670486.java test fails on JDK1.4.2-b04
Here is a part of the test's source (file:javax/swing/JRootPane/bug4670486.java)
-----
    44 class RobotThread implements Runnable {
    45 public void run() {
...
    54 robot.setAutoDelay(250);
    55
    56 // Change the default button to
    57 // force a call to BasicRootPaneUI.updateDefaultButtonBindings()
! 58 robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
    59
    60 // If the bug exists, then as soon as the menu appears,
-----
The test emulates pressing of the TAB key at the line#58, but does not release it.
This leads to unpredictable behavior of the following keyPress/release events on RH Linux 8.0
and the test fails.
Adding "robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);" right after linue 58, causes problem to disappear.
