I don't know much at all about this code and DnD / clipboard java->java, and java<->native and the differences per platform but I see an update to a test which very deliberately tests the behaviour you are affecting. And that test runs on all platforms but you are only updating macOS .. hmm. I'd like to know why. I'd also like to know that all the scenarios work on all platforms and also why someone previously was so sure the existing code was right ...
