<AWT Dev> [11][JDK-8197810]RFR: Test java/awt/Choice/SelectCurrentItemTest/SelectCurrentItemTest.html fails on Windows

[Krishna Addepalli]

Hi Sergey,

I think the current behavior is intentionally implemented in awt in Windows. I don't know how JDK-4902933 is marked as resolved, but there is a linked issue JDK-7171412. Here is the link to the patch that was pushed as fix for this issue, and we can see that there is an explicit suppression of event propagation in case of same index being selected again. Pasting the current code for reference:
MsgRouting AwtChoice::WmNotify(UINT notifyCode)
{
    if (notifyCode == CBN_SELCHANGE) {
        int selectedIndex = (int)SendMessage(CB_GETCURSEL);

        JNIEnv *env = (JNIEnv *)JNU_GetEnv(jvm, JNI_VERSION_1_2);
        jobject target = GetTarget(env);
        int previousIndex = env->GetIntField(target, selectedIndexID);

        if (selectedIndex != CB_ERR && selectedIndex != previousIndex){
            DoCallback("handleAction", "(I)V", selectedIndex);
        }

This is the reason why the test is failing.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks,
Krishna

As far as I understand the usecase which your describe was implemented intentionally in this test to verify the bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4902933

Did you check what is the reason of behavior change?
