<AWT Dev> [9] Review Request: JDK-8032872: [macosx] Cannot select from JComboBox in a JWindow

[Anton V. Tarasov]

Hi all,

The fix looks fine for me. The usage of getOwnerFrameDialog() in the mentioned cases indeed seems 
incorrect. I've looked at the rest of the code and found yet another incorrect usage, in 
LWWindowPeer.changeFocusedWindow line 1265. Please, fix it the same way. All the other use cases of 
the method should be fine as they relate to an activation (a simple window can't be an active window).

Also, I'd recommend to add a new testcase to java/awt/Window/Grab/GrabTest.java

Thanks,
Anton.
