Focus the third component after the current focus owner

Question

Hi,
I have a component which consists of a textfield with two buttons right of it. I have several of these components placed on a panel. I want, when enter pressed, the focus moved from a textfield, to the second textfield in line. I tried this by calling
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent();three times but after going to 1 focusNextComponent it stops. Visually, it goes to the next but when I call
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner();
it is 1 step behind. Do I have to update anything when calling focusNextComponent()?
Much thanks,
Hugo

Execute the programme and press enter and the focus is gone to the third component.

          jtf1.addKeyListener(this);
          p       = new JPanel();
          p.add(jtf1);
          p.add(jtf2);
          p.add(jtf3);

          ft.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          ft.setSize(200,200);
          ft.setVisible(true);
