That is similar issue on Windows since we unconditionally set the right alt key to be ALT_GRAPH independently on the current keyboard layout, it is just a button location which is the same on win and mac. So probably right now it is better to update the spec of that flag. 

To workaround that change the fix for [JDK-8194873](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8194873) updated all our L&F which are used on windows, obviously the Aqua was missed. I think we should update the Aqua in a similar way.
