No. I double-checked:
A. If I explicitly set the L&F to Nimbus: this test does fail in this PR, and it does not fail in master.
B. The SynthPasswordFieldUI descends from BasicTextUI, so it should not be impacted by this PR.

... and in reviewing the SynthPasswordFieldUI I found the same code (copied & pasted) from BasicPasswordFieldUI. I removed that, because with this PR it should not be necessary. (And I did NOT find other instances of the same code copied and pasted anywhere else.)

I'm not sure what you're asking here.

I tweaked the test so it aborts if it is NOT interacting with a BasicTextUI. (Off the top of my head I don't know of any JPasswordField UI's that don't subclass BasicTextUI, but they might exist somewhere.)
