(1/245) 1962 - 4.2pre8: Keyboard focus bug in File Not Saved dialog

In the File Not Saved dialog, using the Tab key to give
the focus to either the No or Cancel button and then
pressing the enter key always carries out the action
that should be performed when Yes is pressed.

For example,
1) Open an untitled document
2) Edit it
3) Try to close it, File Not Saved dialog pops up
4) Press tab to move focus button to No or Cancel and
hit enter.
5) Save file dialog opens

I don't see any adverse effect. Should we set it at jEdit startup (with a property to revert it to default) ? Are there other swing work-arounds in the code base?
