Hello,
Please review fix for JDK9:
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132299
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ssadetsky/8132299/webrev.00/
The issue itself is a linux/solaris specific. Alt-Gr modifier bit (1<<5)
is not set in the KeyPress event which is sent by the closing key in the
combination (which action should be modified). On platforms other than
linux/solaris the ModifierRobotKeyTest.java successfully passes but
takes a lot of time to execute.
Linux has two special keys assigned for 5th column as xmodmap command
report:
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)
Java implementation uses Mode_switch native key for mapping to Alt-Gr.
But Mode_switch is not processed as a modifier key by the native
platform while ISO_Level3_Shift is processed as modifier. So, changing
this mapping solves the problem.
Also, the ModifierRobotKeyTest.java is modified in the fix to decrease
its execution time.
