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

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi Anton,
I am not an expert in this area, but probably

  789             inputMethod.endComposition();
  790             ((InputMethodAdapter)inputMethod).disableInputMethod();

can be changed to stopListening()?

Since some code duplication was added in the 
fix(stopListening/disableNativeIM/disableInputMethod)
