Hi Shashi,

 Why you disabled  HidingSelectionTest.java for Linux platform? How is it related to the TCK test failure?

Hi Semyon, I ran those tests and found to be passed on the selected platforms. 
Since in linux platforms, we can’t have multiple selections visible at the same 
time, I have made a different test MultiSelectionTest along with other test 
cases as is in the HidingSelectionTest. This test passes on the linux platform 
and fails on other platforms because of the behaviour change on the linux 
platform.

Thanks and regards,
Shashi

Hi Shashi,

HidingSelectionTest may not pass after your change because the component 
selection is not cleared after the input focus transfer within the containing 
window.

Hi Semyon, I think that the ownsSelection flag handles the cases well and no 
need for any other conditions I felt. I confirmed this by running the older 
test(HidingSelectionTest) on all the platforms and the tests passed. Please let 
me know any particular reasons for adding those conditions.

Thanks and regards,
Shashi

Hi Shashi,

Why did change generic DefaultCaret class while only platform specific behavior 
should be fixed?

Hi All, Please review a fix for the bug: 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8194135

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sveerabhadra/8194135/webrev.00/ 
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Esveerabhadra/8194135/webrev.00/>

Summary: The text selection visibility behaves differently on linux/solaris 
platforms compared to windows or Mac platforms. There were 2 related fixes that 
went in this area. There are: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-5100950 
and https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8188081. While fixing the bug 
5100950, a mistake was made to clear out the selection data. This behaviour is 
NOT the native behaviour as found in other native applications. The behaviour 
always is to retain the selection data and control the visibility of it 
depending on the conditions. On linux flavours we display only one selection 
data and upon toggling active application we get to see the selection data of 
that particular application hence we never loose the data. These behaviour 
differences are tested via the test components attached with this fix.
Considering the time, this fix addresses only the awt text components like 
textarea and textfield. Both these classes uses the same caret implementation, 
hence a change to the XAWTCaret is sufficient to reflect to both the text 
components. Swing based text components will be addressed later if there are 
any issues found.

Thanks and regards,
Shashi
