Hi, here is a test for this. I updated the webrev. Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2016/4908075.v2/
This test is for windows only as other OS might catch some of the tested keyboard events before the are passed to the canvas. I hope this is ok as the problem itself occurs on windows only.
