<AWT Dev> RFR 8248532:Every time I change keyboard language at my MacBook, Java crashes

[Prasanta Sadhukhan]

Hi Sergey,

It seems the observer either needs to be removed when it is 
dealloced/destroyed (Otherwise Notification Centre would send the 
notification to the destroyed object resulting in crash.)

and we need to do the below in dealloc, which solves the crash in my system.

|NSNotificationCenter *nc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]; [nc 
removeObserver:self]|

||

||But it is not done for LWCToolkit, so I changed the observer as is 
being done there, to make existing @implementation class as observer
