Subject: Reporting an abnormal sequence of Key Event invocation

Dear NetBeans Developers,

    I am using
    - NetBeans IDE 3.6
    - JDK  j2sdk1.4.1_06
    - JRE   Java 2 Standard Edition version 1.4.1
    - Browser Netscape 7.1

    My problem was in receiving KEY EVENTS; so after stripping down the 
program I see the following abnormality.  All code, except one message 
line is generated by IDE 3.6.

    Description of program:
    1) Using java.awt GUI for applet, IDE gives me a BorderLayout.
    2) Label1 was created in North to show a message.
    3) Panel1 was created in West.
    4) Right click on Panel and selected EVENTS / MOUSE / MOUSEPRESSED
    5) Right click on Panel and selected EVENTS / KEY / KEYRELEASED
    6) Right click on BorderLayout and selected EVENTS / MOUSE / 
MOUSEPRESSED
    7) Right click on Panel and selected EVENTS / KEY / KEYRELEASED
 
    Now the anomaly that I observe is the following:
    a) Starting from BROWSER area then clicking on Applet Layout area:
          i) The FormMouse event is called.
          ii) Pressing Key; the FormKey event is called.

    b) Clicking on Panel:
          i) The PanelMouse event is called.
          ii) Pressing Key; the PanelKey event is called.

    c) Now, clicking on Applet Layout Area:
          i) The FormMouse event is called.
          ii) Pressing Key;  the PanelKey event is called.  <<=====

    I was expecting case "c" to be identical to case "a" because mouse 
should have shifted the focus from Panel to Layout area.

    Thank you for your consideration,
