MacAccessible substring bug?

[Cormac Redmond]

Hi,

I have an application which a user is reporting as unusable. The below
happens, repeatedly (sent to me by the user). After calling
Dialog.showAndWait, MacAccessible is trying to use String.substring()
illegally (JFX 25).

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: Range [1, 2) out of bounds for
length 1

        <...SNIPPED...>

It seems a lot like this (unfixed) issue here:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8235989, except the fallout isn't
trivial in my application's case (though, I'm not sure how the error
manifests itself to the user). I cannot reproduce the issue myself.

Is this a bug and can/should this be fixed?



Kind Regards,
Cormac
