A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
On a freshly created and initialized JFormattedTextField, setCaretPosition and select have no visible effect, although enquiring programmatically about the caret position or the selection after changing either returns the expected result: somehow the model processed the command but the view did not reflect it.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Call the program below with all combinations of inputs and observe the results.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
JFormattedTextField should behave the same as JTextField
ACTUAL -
See problem description.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
