Hi,
Please review this documentation change for awt.TextField,
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145284
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~arapte/8145284/webrev.00/
What is the change:
After fix of 8055197, TextField replaces all new line
characters from input string with space characters.
This behavior is not documented, hence this change to document
the behavior.
Platform Behavior:
Mac:
AWT does not use the native NSTextField, but instead delegates
to JPasswordField, which replaces new line character with space character.
On native Mac platform, NSTextField, is not a one line text
component.
If input string contains new line character then NSTextField
displays multiline text.
Hence we cannot consider / replicate native platform behavior
here.
Linux:
AWT delegates to peer side JPasswordField, which replaces new
line character with space character.
Windows:
The TextField terminates string after the new line character
and was reported as 8055197.
Considering the above behavior of Linux and mac, 8055197 was
fixed on windows by replicating the same behavior of mac and linux.
After the fix of 8055197, All the platforms uniformly replace new line
character with space character.
Hence the behavior should be documented.

Ambarish
