A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
This Bug did not occur on one of our windows test systems, only on the linux test systems

Try a focus change with tab. It leads to an endless loop. regardless of using verify or shouldYieldFocus.

public class TestInputVerifyOptionPaneBug {

    public static void main(String[] pArgs) throws Exception {

        final JTextField t1 = new JTextField();
        t1.setInputVerifier(new InputVerifier() {
            public boolean verify(JComponent input) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(input, "test");
                return true;
            }
        });
        final JTextField t2 = new JTextField();


        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.getContentPane().add(t1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        frame.getContentPane().add(t2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        frame.setVisible(true);
