<AWT Dev> update on JDK-8046290 (garbage pixels on OS X)

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Alan.
I am able to reproduce it, and the root cause is correct. I will try to 
fix it. Thanks for an additional information.

The problem occurs if the request for pixels happens after a new CGLSurfaceData has been created but before it is initialized with a background color. In most cases, this error results in a transient flicker, but if the window is transparent, then the garbage pixels will be painted over by the background color and remain visible. Unfortunately, I have code that frequently runs into this problem.
