Yes, it's known. It is recommended to disable all system shortcuts for running client tests, see [the requirements on the wiki](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/ClientLibs/Automated+client+GUI+testing+system+set+up+requirements#AutomatedclientGUItestingsystemsetuprequirements-macOS-SpecificSystemsetupnotes), which may be unfeasible for a system one uses day-to-day.

It's because the old test didn't open that popup or didn't check its position, I can't remember for sure.

It is already documented per the comment above.

Do you also suggest changing the key stroke to another combination?
