[Alexander Scherbatiy]

Hello,

This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u60:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7166409
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alexsch/7166409/webrev.00
review: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/swing-dev/2013-January/002477.html
JDK8 changeset: hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/4faaaf5027a5
Reviewers: Sergey Bylokhov

The code changes for JDK 7u60 are identical to the ones in JDK 8.

Thank you,
  Alexandr.
