<AWT Dev> [10] Review request for 8155197: Focus transition issue

[Semyon Sadetsky]

Hi Dmitry,

If you make a detailed look on the Component class methods like 
setEnables(), setFocusable() and setVisible() the most recent focus 
owner is cleared or transferred only after the component is made 
non-focusable. Since the fix is aimed for concurrent scenarios the 
recheck actually makes sens.

Also it would be more correct always trying to determine the first 
focusable component in traversal order before before the attempt to set 
focus owner as it is done in restoreFocus(Window aWindow, Component  
boolean clearOnFailure):

                 if (!toFocus.isShowing() || !toFocus.canBeFocusOwner()) {
                     toFocus = toFocus.getNextFocusCandidate();
                 }
otherwise when focus is restored to actually non-focusable component the 
final focus owner may become null while the next component in container 
traversal order is expected to have the input focus.
