[UNVERIFIED SENDER] [8u] RFR: 8214578: [macos] Problem with backslashes on macOS/JIS keyboard: Java ignores system settings

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Alex.

You need to backport the fixes for a regressions caused by the 8214578:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?jql=labels%20%3D%20regression_8214578

Since regressions are crashes I think it will be better to backport them at the same time.
