@ktakakuri The issue this is referencing is resolved. I'm guessing it got resolved with a push to Oracle's JDK 8 fork. The commit for this isn't public so we need to do the SKARA trick to mention the backport bug like so: `Backport JDK-8278138`. I.e. Please change the PR title to `Backport JDK-8278138`. It's strange that skara bots don't flag this with a warning (it's not labelled as a `backport` and the bug is not open anymore).
