<AWT Dev> Please review changes in regression test /java/awt/TestArea/UsingWithMouse.java

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Pavel,

I think what you really need to use here instead of Thread.sleep() is the

((sun.awt.SunToolkit)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()).realSync();

method which actually ends up in calling the XSync(), and therefore 
makes sure the X server processes the requests we're sending. 
waitForIdle() can't help with that because it only waits for the java 
events to be processed, not the requests to the X server.

Could you try this and see if that fixes the test?
