Have you tried Laurent's test case on Mac? (the version previous to my
refactorings, so we eliminate the OS layer). This bug should manifest there
too. Unfortunately, I don't have such environment to test and debug.

My understanding is that if you want hard-dependency enforcements, you have
to wrap events under SequencedEvent events. All other asynchronous events
have absolutely no guarantees. Blocking the EDT should not be done and
that's the reason why we dispatch non-SequencedEvent events in the
meanwhile. Please note that the only events that are put on hold and
re-posted lated are SequencedEvent events that, if dispatched, would
violate the sequence rule.

Kind regards,
Martin.-
