Description Lukas Hasik 2010-04-23 15:00:33 UTC 
the buttons at bottom of these customizers are unreachable with TAB

 Components not reachable with tab traversal :
   Class: javax.swing.JButton {  Browse... |  Browse for the root folder }
   Class: javax.swing.JButton {  Fetch Data |  Fetch data from this datasource }
   Class: javax.swing.JList {  Filters |  List of filters as well as master data source }
   Class: javax.swing.JTabbedPane {  Data Sources |  Switch among different views on fetched data }
   Class: javax.swing.JTextField {  Root: |  Filesystem root of this data source }
   Class: org.netbeans.swing.outline.Outline {  Records data tree |  Fetched data displayed as runtime Records tree }

Reassigning to Outline developers for evaluation.

During my observations, pressing Tab in an empty Outline does not move the focus to the next component but rather it resets it and places focus on the first component. Pressing Ctrl-Tab in an empty Outline works as expected, moving focus to the next component. Shift-Tab works correctly too.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2011-01-25 15:37:20 UTC 
This issue was submitted for JavaFX Composer, which is not a part of the distribution. Therefore this issue should not be visible in the product.

But the problem can be reproduced when Outline is surrounded by components.
I've but several JButtons around Outline components in debugger views. I can reproduce the problem with TAB going to the first component rather than to the next one. While Shift-TAB works correctly. CTRL-TAB opens the file switcher therefore it can not be used to switch focus.
