EVALUATION The problem appeared after CR 6589634 was fixed. Now buttons in toolbar don't get focus when the left mouse button is pressed (button are configured with setRequestFocusEnabled(false)). At the same time the BasicFileChooserUI.ChangeToParentDirectoryAction#actionPerformed method contains the following strange code: Component focusOwner = KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner(); if (focusOwner == null || !(focusOwner instanceof javax.swing.text.JTextComponent)) { getFileChooser().changeToParentDirectory(); } I believe we should remove focusOwner checking at all. BTW this focusOwner checking came with the following commit: D 1.48 03/04/29 12:59:44 sky 65 59 00376/00278/00906 MRs: COMMENTS: Merged changes between child workspace "/net/jano/export/disk09/swing/SCCS_DIRECTORIES/synth-tiger" and parent workspace "/export/disk09/swing/SCCS_DIRECTORIES/swing-tiger". The /export/disk09/swing/SCCS_DIRECTORIES/swing-tiger workspace doesn't exist now and we can't determine the reason of the focusOwner checking.
