How to debug assert failure in awt.dll?

[Anthony Petrov]

This is a known issue http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8013849
Looks like it's unrelated to a11y and affects any apps with input boxes.

I'm not an expert in debugging with VS, but I suppose it wants the .pdb 
file for the awt.dll. Try locating this file in the build/ directory and 
point the VS debugger to it. You should also point VS to the sources 
directory (which is jdk/src/windows/native/sun/windows/).
