[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR 8147542: Linux: ClassCastException when repainting after display resolution change

[Anton Litvinov]

Hello,

I would like to request for approval to push a straight backport of the 
fix from JDK 9 to JDK 8. The changeset from JDK 9 applies to JDK 8 after 
correction of a file path. The patch resolves the bug in JDK 8 successfully.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8147542
JDK 9 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/jdk/rev/82ca00fa3824
JDK 9 review thread:
     Approval 1 -

     Approval 2 -

Reviewers: prr, flar

Thank you,
Anton
