Correct. If anyone wants it, or a draft of it, feel free to email me. Someday if I need it I'll add it to my personal repo.

(Personally (being new-ish to this group) I try to limit my OpenJDK PRs to fixes, but not enhancements.)

To be fair: this PR is still a little invasive. It's possible some UIs are relying on the legacy behavior as-is. But IMO assigning a negative width/height is a significant bug worth fixing.
