Order of focusLost and actionPerformed events in Swing on Red Hat

Question

Hi!
I have quite complicated bug, which must be fixed as soon as possible. Currently I am drinking my fifth coffee and I cannot find anything about this bug on the net.
The bug looks like that:
I have pane with several JTextField on it and a Save Button.
Each JTextField has FocusListener with focusLost method. On focusLost event the entered text is validated and moved to the model object.
After pressing the Save Button model object is saved to DB. This work perfect on Windows but not on Red Hat ( I have not yet check on Solaris).
I enter the text in text field and press the save button with mouse. Then I receive information that the actionPerformed is called and save model object without entered text. After saving the focusLost is invoked and move the entered text to the previous saved object.
I have look into several books but I haven't find any information about order of events. Maybe if I took some more time, but project dead line is soon.
This is not my application, I only maintain it. I cannot read the JTextField on actionPerformed due to validation of data.
Have someone any experience with such problem?
I will be very appreciated for any help.

Answer 1

I haven't receive any reply yet, but maybe my workaround will help someone else.
I have figured out, that if I implement actionPerformed as InvokeLater it will cause proper order of focusLost and actionPerformed.
So it looks like:
actionPerformed() {
  SwingInvoke.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
    createSaveThread()
    startSaveTread()
}Have a nice day :)
