<AWT Dev> Review request for: JDK-8213292 Input freezes after MacOS key-selector (press&hold) usage on macOS Mojave

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Alexey.

A few questions:
  - Did you send a bug report to the Apple?
  - Is it necessary to have a check for a specific OS or the same approach will work
    for current and future OS's as well?

This is a major problem for all IntelliJ IDEA Platform based products (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-998). After entering accented symbol a user is unable to enter any ordinary symbol.
