FULL PRODUCT VERSION :

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows XP Pro 32 bit +Service Pack 1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I used javax.swing.timer and added ActionListener. After that I started timer and counted "ticks" of this timer. Everything goes well untill I change the system time (for example it's 5:00 and I set 4:23). After increasing time nothing happens but after decreasing it - timer stops - it just doesn't notify the action listener - actionPerformed method isn't called.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Define javax.swing.timer, add ActionListener, start timer, change time for the lower one and that's it.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
actionPerformed method is still called
ACTUAL -
actionPerformed method isn't called any longer

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.Timer;
import java.awt.Frame;

public class TimerTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Tester tester = new Tester();

}
}

class Tester extends Frame
{
public Tester()
{
super();
Timer t = new Timer(100, new
ActionListener(){
int i = 0;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
System.out.println("i=: " + i++);
}

});
t.start(); //this te beggining and the end
show();


}
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Using own timer constructed with Thread but it's not very good solution.
