Hi,
Please review this fix: JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8249278 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~arapte/a11y/8249278/webrev.0/ This change reverts the fix for JDK-8226253. The fix of JDK-8226253 breaks the specification of AccessibleState.SHOWING for JList and has caused a regression with JTree. There is no alternative to fix JDK-8226253 on JDK side and the issue should be really fixed on Screen reader side. So in order to keep the correctness of spec and avoid any new regression, the fix needs to be reverted. Regards, Ambarish
