Looks like on windows it works in the same way?

Well, but not in the Apple Java 6 nor in Linux. And perhaps that is a bug in Windows implementation since when you return focus to t1, you have correct (empty) selection. So selection is cleared visually and after refocusing back but not immediately after another field selection.
