Summary: Java Text Fields don't get focus

Initial Comment:
If you click on a Text Field it doesn't get the focus. Using the TAB key isn't working either. Other input components have the same problem (JSpinner, JTextArea). If the widget initially have the focus, it can recover it back (you can use the small example in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/TextDemoProject/src/components/TextDemo.java to see this) If no input element have the focus initially I haven't found a way to give it to them.

System info:

openSUSE 12.1
icewm-1.3.7-16.1.2.x86_64 (32 bits version have the same issue)
java-1_7_0-openjdk-1.7.0.0_147-5.18.x86_64

Message:
Thanks for the tip monoped. Do you have any hint on why this only happen
with IceWM and not with others DE/WM? And to add some information, I don't
use Oracle's JDK but IcedTea and the bug is still present.

java version "1.7.0_147-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.0) (SUSE LINUX build
1.7.0_147-icedtea-b147)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

Are both implementations the same now?

Message:
This is not an icewm bug, but a nasty bug in JRE 7 for Linux which I
reported to Oracle recently (Bug ID: 7147075). If you have an Sun account,
you could go to http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7147075
and click on "vote for this bug" (no idea if it helps, though) or add a
comment.
In my opinion this bug makes JRE 7 for Swing applications under Linux
practically unusable.
