Windows provides navigation of all control with the keyboard.  By 
default, most button stypes of their traversalOn property set to true, 
which governs if the control can be traversed with the keyboard (most 
commonly via the Tab key).

The problem you're experiencing is that when you press the button it 
also gets keyboard focus, which takes away the focus from the field.

If you turn off the traversalOn property of the button you should be in 
good shape.
