[8u-dev] Request for approval for JDK-8208638 : Instead of circle rendered in appl window, but ellipse is produced in JEditorPane

[Krishna Addepalli]

Hi Alan and Phil

Thanks for your comments. I’m currently cloning the 11u repo. So, I need to send the mail to jdk11u-dev at openjdk.java.net <mailto:jdk11u-dev at openjdk.java.net> for back port request?

>> I'm not involved in JDK updates but a back port from JDK 12 to 8u does beg the question as to whether the change will also be backported to 11u. I see there is discussion on jdk-updates-dev about the approvals for 11u but in the mean time then maybe backport issues should be created to at least track what will otherwise be regressions moving from 8u to 11u.
