Can you explain why you are doing this ?
Thread.sleep() clears the IE so why do you need to restore it ?
It just looks like an un-specified and un-needed change of behaviour to me.

It is done to "notify" other code which follows Robot.delay() that the thread 
was interrupted.

So for example before the fix the code below depended on when the 
thread.interrupt() was called:
  Robot.delay(10);
  EventQueue.invokeAndWait(...);

If the method "interrupt()" was called by the application, when invokeAndWait 
() was called, then the thread will be stopped as expected.
But if the method "interrupt()" is called during Robot.delay(10), the 
application will miss the fact that the flow was interrupted.

Hello.
Please review the fix for jdk12.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8210231
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~serb/8210231/webrev.00

The Robot.delay() is a simple wrapper on top of Thread.sleep(), which ignores 
the InterruptedException. But in case of InterruptedException it prints the 
stack trace, which is unspecified behavior.

In the fix the "printStackTrace()" was removed, and the interrupted state of 
the thread is restored.
