<AWT Dev> [12] RFR 8213983: [macosx] Keyboard shortcut “cmd +`” stops working properly if popup window is displayed

[Dmitry Markov]

Hi Sergey,

When we are going to display the popup, all related windows, (i.e. the owner, its child windows and their child an so on) are already ordered. They were ordered once the owner received focus. So there is no reason to order them again because we place the popup to separate window level which is located above other windows.

Thanks,
Dmitry

However it is really unnecessary to perform ordering for popup windows because they are located at another window level, (i.e. NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel) and always placed above their parents.
