Description Milan Kubec 2005-02-16 08:17:25 UTC 
[dev-200502151900, JDK 1.5.0_02]

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Platform manager, click Add Platform
2) Select any platform folder, click Next
Platform Name field contains name but cursor is
not visible, but user can type. After changing
focus to another application and back cursor is
visible.

It seems as a bug in the Swing. The component has a focus (you can type in it),
but the cursor is not visible. I've tried to call jdkName.requestFocusInWindow
() or even pass the jdkName.requestFocusInWindow () to the next invokeLater ()
to separate it from the call of JTextField.setEditable() but it does not helped.
Sorry, I have no idea what to do with it.
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2005-04-07 09:42:44 UTC 
Well, if it's bug in Swing please file issue against JDK. This issue could be
considered as USABILITY and A11Y problem. User is supposed to type something
into the field and there is no cursor. I personally have to type some char to
find out where the cursor is, which is far from acceptable behavior.

Why this is the only on JTextField with such behavior in IDE, there are hundreds
of text fields around without this problem.
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2005-04-07 10:18:54 UTC 
The textfield is the first one in the focus chain and is disabled at start.
After while it is enabled (in AWT thread).
Comment 4 David Strupl 2009-03-31 16:07:00 UTC 
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".

> NetBeans.org Migration: changing resolution from LATER to WONTFIX
Any rational for that?
If this is a Swing bug, is there any reference to JDK bug?
