Answer 1

simply change your current remove method:

 @Override  
 public void remove(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fb, int offset, int length) throws BadLocationException 
 {  

     fb.insertString(offset, "", null);
 } 

for this one:

 @Override  
 public void remove(DocumentFilter.FilterBypass fb, int offset, int length) throws BadLocationException 
 {  
     fb.remove(offset, length);
 }

it should now work.
