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

[Phil Race]

The 11 process documented here :

does not say anything about email .. so it is not clear .. it only talks
about updating the bug report.
So at least follow the process written there.
