@prrace the backports seem to be progressing well.. there's a report that it's not working with JavaFX, though.  I'm not familiar with JFX enough to know about this.  Do you think there's either a special backport needed, or could there be a *parallel* fix in JFX that's needed? 

@AndyBlack created https://github.com/AndyBlack/KeymanFX and https://github.com/AndyBlack/KeymanSwing as test cases. It seems that on the JFX side it's using 
 `javafx.scene.control.TextField` - should that be affected (that is, fixed) by this fix to AWTView or would JFX be perhaps similar parallel code needing a parallel fix?
