Hello Semyon,
Thanks for your fast feedback! We would like to check it but we need a Oracle
build for real world tests because we depend on the Webstart which is not part
of OpenJDK.
As far as we know there is no Oracle u172 EA build available via
http://jdk.java.net/8 or via support.oracle.com
Regards
Reto

Betreff: Re: <AWT Dev> High CPU usage with JRE 8u162 b03 EA (caused by
sun.awt.windows.WInputMethod.inquireCandidatePosition)
Hello Reto,
Happy New Year!
Yes, it is a known bug, it was introduced by 8184016.
8183504 should fix it, but it was backported to 8u172.
Can you check whether 8u172 b01 has this issue fixed on Win8 and Win2012R2?

Hello, Happy New Year! We just noticed that our software is completely unusable
with JRE 8u162 b03 EA because of very high CPU usage.It works with 8 u162 b01
and older releases (eg: 8 u152 etc).We are able to provide a simple reproducer
which demonstrate high CPU usage, at least on Windows system (tested with Win8
and Win2012R2). Steps to reproduce: 1. Run reproducer (below)2. Focus another
running program3. Focus the reproducer Swing Frame again -> This cause high CPU
usage because sun.awt.windows.WInputMethod.inquireCandidatePosition() is being
called over and over. It is possible to interact with the reproducer Frame even
with the high CPU usage in the background but our real software is no longer
usable so this is a killer bug for us. Is this a known bug? Thanks Reto
Reproducer: import javax.swing.*;import java.awt.*; public class Reproducer {
public static void main(String[] args) { EventQueue.invokeLater(new
Runnable() { public void run() { JPanel main = new JPanel();
main.add(new JTextField()); JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
frame.setContentPane(main); frame.setSize(400, 400);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true); } }); }}
