Hi alexp,
Starting SwingSet2 with default Laf, I have seen DisableUnselectable.jpg
(attached) and after changing it to Windows Laf, I have seen
DisableSelectable.jpg (attached).
Because windows support Navigation on the disable item, (see
windowsNativeBehavior.jpg attached), so Java also follow this behavior
on the disable item with windows LaF. Am I right?

Thanks.
