I agree. I think Sergey & Krishna prefer discarding non - SequencedEvent as
before (for compatibility reasons).

Discarding non-SequencedEvent events or holding them for the future is a

My former test was more a crash test with intensive event submission.
The new test is more 'cool', as it only uses public Window events
(toBack(), toFront() and I am interested to test it with another patch
variant discarding events.

There is no shame that EDT or event processing consuming lots of cpu
cycles, in such intensive tests.
If the bug is fixed, and GUI is still responsive, that's fine to me.

Kind regards,
Laurent
