Thanks for your help. I thought all occurrences of this bug were solved 
some time ago. Then yesterday I found the NIO think and Mark Wielaard 
told my that the java-gui-branch merge patch introduces the same issue 
in Swing too. We should really get this solved and apply your patch tak 
make developement easier in the future.
