>> Previously, a new key combination involving the option key was added to Aqua LAF for JTextAreas. In doing so, some code was removed that created this regression. The regression caused the right option key on Mac OS to incorrectly show another KeyPressed event instead of a KeyReleased event when pressing and releasing the key. Additionally, the location of the key was 'standard' instead of 'right'. Adding back the key mask and its following code resolves the issue and doesn't cause any other CI tests to fail.

why was the keycode wrong with the previous fix? and why do we need to manually set leftAltKeyPressed = YES? should this be done in a different part of the code?
