I must be missing something but [JDK-4659800](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4659800) talks about the Enter key, not the Space key: _Hitting enter on focused JButton no longer causes action_.

It looks you're testing a completely different thing.

Yes, Space key _always_ activates the focused button. Whether Enter key activates focused button is L&F dependent. The test case in JDK-4659800 changes the L&F to WindowsLookAndFeel therefore Enter key is expected to cause the ActionEvent; if you leave the default MetalLookAndFeel or use NimbusLookAndFeel, pressing the Enter key should not send the ActionEvent.
