*In the Select Tables page of the mapping wizard, click the dropdown menu for primary table.

Use the keyboard to open the menu (space bar). Now, arrow keys should move the selection up and down the menu. Instead, pressing an arrow key commits your selection.

Evaluation
Fix contributed by Ethan Rider, applied to the following panels:
Mapping wizard, page 2, Mapped Secondary Table Setup, Relationship mapping editor related class step, Relationship mapping editor map local to join step. 

As this fix makes the JComboBox slightly more accessible, it is worth noting that during testing (all platforms) if the JCombobox was invoked space bar (without being selected by the mouse) the arrow only keys caused the combobox to dissapear.  The arrow keys on the numeric pad always worked properly.

Additionally, (and not consistently) the JComboBox remained dark grey (as if selected) after the call to SetPopupVisible(false) required to ensure the popup is not visible after the selection event in JDK1.3.
