A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When selecting something in a JFormattedTextField that isnt focusowner, selection starts at text start.
In the sample:
1. Set focus in the first JFormattedTextField.
2. Using the mouse; try to select the text "23" in the second JFormattedTextField.
This is not possible without first clicking on the second JFormattedTextField and then selecting.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Selected "23"
ACTUAL -
Selection became "123"

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.swing.JFormattedTextField;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;


public class Tester {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tester");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JFormattedTextField tx1 = new JFormattedTextField("ABC");
JFormattedTextField tx2 = new JFormattedTextField("123");
panel.add(tx1);
panel.add(tx2);
frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Installing a FocusListner on the JFormattedTextFields and setting the caret position in an invokelater does it.

tx1.addFocusListener(this);
tx2.addFocusListener(this);

public void focusGained(final FocusEvent e) {
final int i = ((JFormattedTextField)e.getComponent()).getCaret().getDot();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
((JFormattedTextField)e.getComponent()).getCaret().setDot(i);
}
});
}
