This is a known Swing bug.  See:

The discussion for this bug does mention some work-arounds.  Maybe one of 
them will work for you.

You may need to join the Java Developer Connection to get to this URL.  
It is free to join -- you just have to fill out a form.  

The problem is related to the fact that a JComboBox is a compound 
component.  There are other components that make up the JComboBox, and 
the JComboBox itself may not actually receive the focus.  Instead, some 
of its child components do.  This is further complicated by the fact that 
which subcomponents it has depend on which look-and-feel you are using.
