<AWT Dev> [7u4] Review request for 7154177: [macosx] An invisible owner frame becomes visible upon clicking a child window

[Sergey Bylokhov]

probably it would be good to add 2 regression tests for this issue?
1) For the current issue, which wasn't found by the existing tests.
2) For the issue which was not resolved in the current fix.
