Thanks Anthony, You are right; it is not a11y related.  Is there a bug I
can edit?  I'll add more info:
- it fails on 7udev
- it fails in SwingSet2 in the combo box demo when focus is on the
ComboBox Demo tab and the tab key is pressed to change focus into the
first non-edit combo box.

I tried that (see below) with no luck.
