A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
An AWT TextField does not report TAB events. This behaviour is different to the original 1.1 Java runtime. The code appears to perform tab processing for focus control which then suppresses the corresponding key event. I have overridden a TextField and added a keyListener to the control. In both cases no TAB KeyEvents are generated. The following is code which I used to test the behaviour. This test shows that even when the focus changes from one text field to another, no TAB key events are generated.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile included source and run it, press tab key, no events are generated.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
TAB KeyEvents should be generated for the TextField.
ACTUAL -
No events are generated.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
