Asking our experts on Swing.

This evening I first tried my two player CORBA game. The CORBA works, 
the socket works, the layout and mouse events are ok - but, 
unfortunately, the supplementary chatting feature does not work just 
because it is not possible to put any text into the JTextField.

The JTextArea is cleared after sending the message by 
JTextField.setText(''"). After I call this method in our Classpath, it 
refuses to accept any keyboard input, despite I see the cursor. 
Experimenting, I tried to call JTextField.setText(".....") instead. In 
this case it was possible to enter the text inside the dotted area (the 
dots were shifting to the right as expected), but not possible to enter 
any additional text after clicking outside the dotted area (but still 
inside the text input field).

It seems that the mouse click right from the area that is already filled 
in with some text is ignored instead of placing the carret to the end of 
text and allowing the text input. Basically this means that the 
JTextField cannot perform one of the main its functions: being initially 
empty, become focused after the mouse click and then accept the input data.

Does anybody already knows about this problem or could suggest some 
workaround how to force the input work? On Sun's jre, the program runs 
without problems.
