<AWT Dev> [8] Review Request: JDK-8024864 [macosx] Problems with rendering of controls

[Petr Pchelko]

Hello, AWT Team.

Please review the fix for the issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8024864
The fix is available at:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pchelko/8024864/webrev.00/

The problem: it's a hard-to-describe thread race. The main problem is the following: when we set the bounds of the frame they could be modified by the native system, so we reset them in notifyReshape. However, there are cases when the peer bounds, native bounds and frame bound get completely unsynchronized with each other. In those cases the rendering problems occur, because paint events are generated with wrong bounds. 
The solution is to only set peer's bounds in the callback from the native system and not set them in setBounds directly. This would fix the problem, because now the peer bounds and real native bounds are always synchronized and there's no time frame when the peers bounds are set to some different value which would then be updated by the native system.

With best regards. Petr.
