FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
Service Pack 4

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If a awt TextArea is located on a JTabbedPane it is no longer possible to move through the written text in the TextArea. Instead the JTabbedPane changes it's selected Tab.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just put a java.awt.TextArea on a JTabbedPane and write some text.
Now try to move through the text by using the cursor keys.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would recommend that the cursor moves left / right / up / down in the TextArea if I press the recommended key. (Just like the behaviour of the JTextArea on a JTabbedPane)
ACTUAL -
The JTabbedPane changes its TAB if I press the cursor key's.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
