I am writing a program that can write sets of questions for review to a file for another program to read. The possible answers are typed into JTextFields at the bottom. It has code to ensure that there won't bew more than one blank JTextField at the end. When I type in answers, at varying points it will throw a StackOverflowError.

The stack trace:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.StackOverflowError
    at java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.keyPressed(AWTEventMulticaster.java:232)
