Hello Anthony
>> Can we do the same for isValidatRoot()?
> Yes, that is a smaller solution (in terms of the code size),
smaller fix is less error-prone
and gives better maintainable code for future changes

> prefer to minimize calling Swing stuff from AWT code. What do others think?
let's wait for the rest of the team
Thanks
