The first panel of the generated wizard

Following this tutorial:

https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-wizard.html

results in a the first panel of the generated wizard being able to receive focus, either by being clicked on or tabbing from an text field.  The tab order is text fields, the panel itself, then the "Next" button.

I tried creating a completely stripped down wizard, but could not produce an example in which this issue does not occur.  

In my screen shot I made the input panel green to demonstrate that the cursor is on the wizard.

I noticed that if I create a 2 panel wizard and go to the 2nd panel then back to the first, the wizard no longer receives the cursor.

Cursor on create module error message

The cursor appearing in Wizard issue can be replicated in several of the Netbeans IDE wizards.  In the attached screen shot, the cursor tabs into the error message JLabel.  In the case of errors, this seems reasonable so the user can copy the error message.  If this is the case, perhaps the issue is that the JLabel can receive focus even when there is no message being displayed in it.
