Hi Pavel,
I think what you really need to use here instead of Thread.sleep() is the
((sun.awt.SunToolkit)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()).realSync();
method which actually ends up in calling the XSync(), and therefore
makes sure the X server processes the requests we're sending.
waitForIdle() can't help with that because it only waits for the java
events to be processed, not the requests to the X server.
Could you try this and see if that fixes the test?

Hi,
please review changes made in regression test
/java/awt/TestArea/UsingWithMouse.java.
Webrev is available at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptisnovs/SelectionAutoscrollTest/
There's added small delay between each scroll event, so the scrolling
(and related text selection by mouse cursor) is really performed on
Gnome. Tested on RHEL x86_64 with Gnome installed. I also tried to use
only Util.waitForIdle(robot) instead of Thread.sleep() but this does not
help in this case.
This patch can be applied to OpenJDK7 too.
Thanks in advance
