Description

Name: gm110360			Date: 09/17/2001


java version "1.4.0-beta2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta2-b77, mixed mode)

When navigating with the tab key, the textfield that gets the focus should
highlight the whole text in it. This is the standard behavior on Windows.
Using the Windows L&F the cursor is placed after the last character, no
highlighting is done. You can check this using the JFileChooser for example. It
works fine for editable JComboBox items.
