<AWT Dev> [8] Review request for 6789984: JPasswordField can not receive keyboard input

[Anton Litvinov]

Hello,

Please review the following fix for a bug.

Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6789984
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alitvinov/6789984/webrev.00

This bug consists in inability of JPasswordField to react on any 
keyboard events under certain conditions on Linux OS. The webrev does 
not contain any new "jtreg" test, because a particular Linux OS 
distribution with additionally installed packages are required for 
reproduction of the bug.

Requirements to the environment:
1. Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 5.6 x86 64/Oracle Enterprise Linux 
(OEL) 5.5 x86 64
2. Package "scim-anthy-1.2.0-6.el5.x86_64" and its all dependent 
packages installed on the OS.
3. JDK 8.
4. A simple Java Swing application, where a dialog with both JTextField 
and JPasswordField is displayed.

Thank you,
Anton
