FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If you hit the Escape key after typing into a JFormattedTextField, the text you typed will be replaced by the previous contents of the field.
This is inconsistent with the behavior of JTextField. Since the Escape key has nothing to do with formatting, they should behave the same way.
If the JFormattedTextField does not have any formatting applied to it, this behavior doesn't occur.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Add a JFormattedTextField to a panel.
2. Apply some form of formatting to the field.
3. Display the panel.
4. Type a value into the field that matches the format.
5. Put focus somewhere else on the screen.
6. Return focus to the field.
7. Replace the text with something different
8. With focus still in the field, hit the Esc key.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Nothing should happen. The new text that I type in should still be there.
The new text that I typed in disappeared and the text in the field reverted to what was in it previously.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
