Could you review the updated fix:

The comments are below:
    - NSTrackingCursorUpdate option is removed from the 
rolloverTrackingArea

       Fixed.

      Dmitry, who is a responsible person for the 
CPlatformEmbeddedFrame, said that the implementation of the 
getPlatformWindowUnderMouse() method could be different for applets.
      So the getPlatformWindowUnderMouse() method implementation will be 
filled as a separated issue and fixed by Dmitry.

     I updated the topmostWindowPeer variable creation so it now can 
have only the topmost window under mouse value  or null and added a 
comment that the (topmostWindowPeer == null )
     condition should be removed after the getPlatformWindowUnderMouse() 
method implementation in the CPlatformEmbeddedFrame class.
     For now the (topmostWindowPeer == null ) condition allows to track 
the mouse enter/exit components events as it was before the fix.

     Swing controls have Container in  a parent class hierarchy. The 
Container class has the LightweightDispatcher dispatcher which allows to 
track mouse moving from one component to another and generate necessary 
mouse enter/exit events.
    AWT controls have Component class as a parent and do not have the 
dispatcher. So moving/dragging a mouse from one AWT control to another 
does not generate necessary mouse events.

   The aim of the fix is not redesigning current architecture. It just 
adds checking a case where a mouse is dragged from one window to another 
and so the first window which gets the mouse drag events is not the real 
window for which component enter/exit events should be generated.

    Thanks,
    Alexandr.
