I'm so glad you were able to track it down and provide us w/ these details. If
you find anything else related please do add another comment. This is going to
be a bit of a challenge to fix since I don't have a pen and tablet. 

Christopher is probably most familiar w/ how the Edit Parameters dialogs work,
he might have some better guesses as to what's happening.

After a little googling I see a java issue w/ pens and mouseClicked events that
*might* be tied in: 

"I get mousePressed/mouseReleased events correctly; mouseClicked events happen
always with the pen tablet mouse, but mouseClicked events do not happen with
the pen unless I manage to keep the pen very still. Even a 1-pixel movement is
enough to make it fail."

It doesn't really fit the scenario you're seeing since the Commit button action
seems to take place (dialog closes), but I'm wondering if something in our code
e.g. relies on mouseReleased events while another part relies on mouseClicked.
You might be able to (in)validate this theory by pressing and releasing
extremely carefully (exact same pixel) on the Confirm button.
