A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When tabbing out of an editable JComboBox to another control its popup-list will remain visible. Changing focus by clicking on a different control via mouse will hide popup.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Open a combobox's popup list. Switch to the textfield using the tabulator key => Popup remains visible
Switch back (Shift+Tab). Switch to the textfield using a mouse click => Popup is hidden

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
See above. Popup should be hidden when tabbing out.
ACTUAL -
Popup remains open.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

        comboBox.setEditable(true);
        frame.getContentPane().add(comboBox);
        frame.getContentPane().add(new JTextField("I wan't more focus!"));
        frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

  }
});
