Hi Glen,

Yes, the issues that you mentioned might be causing the problems. I will
look into it soon. I wonder why it's only sporadic, this seems to point
to some threading/EDT issue. Have you made sure that all your
interactions happen in the EDT? (see http://fest.codehaus.org/Writing
+EDT-safe+GUI+tests) In the meantime it would be great if you can come
up with a testcase.
