Because pressing TAB move focus to a next component and therefore quickfile chooser becomes almost standard chooser. It firstly happens in b46 - but not sure at all, since NB was unusable with those JDKs as you know. Easily reproduced under b48.
Reproduced in b46, not b45. Cannot find anything here: https://mustang.dev.java.net/files/documents/2817/18337/mustang-b46.html except perhaps http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6281628
Actually it was http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4226243 and I understand the problem now. I was setting focus traversal keys on a component rather than its focus cycle root, which is apparently unexpected.
Should be fixed now in CVS, and AU soon.
JDK bug was already filed.
yup, v/c
