FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-rc-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-rc-b19, mixed mode)
FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab do not work as expected in
JTabbedPanes in Windows Look and Feel. Although these are
the standard keyboard shortcuts to change between tabs
in "Tabbed Panes" in Windows applications, Java requires
the use of Ctrl-PageUp and Ctrl-PageDown to achieve this
effect.
Please consider updating the Windows Look and Feel to feel
like Windows applications in this respect.
Thanks in advance,
Pete Riley
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Open MS Explorer or MS Internet Explorer
2. Select Tools and then Options
3. Notice how Ctrl-Tab switches panes toward the right and
Shift-Ctrl-Tab switches panes toward the left.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Instead of switching among panes, Java currently acts as if
the Control key is not pressed. Thus, it just tabs among
fields in a single pane instead of the expected result of
switching to a different pane.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)
FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In Windows, an MDI program or a tabbed pane should respond
to the <Ctrl-Tab>/<Ctrl-Shift-Tab> keystrokes by cycling
forwards/backwards through the frame/tab list.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Take the standard demo apps ...
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/examp
le-swing/InternalFrameEventDemo.java
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/e
xample-swing/TabbedPaneDemo.java
... and adapt them to run in Windows L&F
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
In a Windows MDI, you'd expect holding down the <Ctrl> key
and pressing <Tab> or <Shift-Tab> to cycle through internal
frames in a manner analogous to the way holding down the
<Alt> key and pressing the same keys cycles through the
windows open on the desktop.
The cycle order is that of focus history/last visited.
Eg: Load 3 spreadsheets into Excel or three text files
into TextPad and experiment, you should find that this is
what happens ...
Hold down <Ctrl>, press <Tab> once, release <Ctrl> should
revert you to the internal frame that most recently had the
focus.
Hold down <Ctrl>, press <Shift-Tab> once, release <Ctrl>
should revert you to the internal frame that most distantly
had the focus.
Hold down <Ctrl>, press <Tab> 2x, release <Ctrl> should
revert you to the internal frame that second most recently
had the focus.
And so on.
In an exactly similar way, in a tabbed pane, <Ctrl-Tab>
and <Ctrl-Shift-Tab> should cycle through the tabs.
Eg: Right-click on the Windows Desktop and choose
Properties to bring up the Display Properties. To see the
effect in action, experiment with holding down <Ctrl> and
pressing <Tab> and <Shift-Tab> a few times before releasing
<Ctrl> again.
Now launch either of the two demo programs (in the internal
frame event demo press the 'Show internal frame' to get a
second frame) and press any combination of <Ctrl> <Shift>
and <Tab>. Nothing happens.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
