Review request for 8060137: Removing Text from TextField / TextArea is not possible after typing

[Ambarish Rapte]

Dear All,

 

                Please review the fix for JDK9,

                Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8060137

                Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~arapte/8060137/webrev.00/

 

Issue:

1.       Type any character in TextArea or TextField

2.       Call setText(null)

ð  The text in TextArea or TextField does not get set to null.

 

Cause:

                TextComponent::setText(), verifies TextComponent::text variable 
for null value in TextComponent::setText().

                But text is a java variable which may not have latest value of 
actual at peer side.

 

Fix:

                Fetch the latest value from peer.getText(), before validating 
for null value.

                Also updated tests for TextArea & TextField with the patch.

 

 

Many Thanks,

Ambarish
