"[JDK-8233177] JTextField's size is computed incorrectly when it contains Indic or Thai characters"

This seems to be a copy of the original bug, but surely all we have now is a test bug ??
JDK-8233177 should be re-titled to something like
"Test case for bug JDK-8001470 fails if there are missing glyphs"

and the description really should be about that problem NOT the original problem.
