When i reproduced the test failures locally on Ubuntu 18 it seems like AWT Frame that appeared on the screen had not received focus and keyboard events went to the Window Manager which ignored them for having no meaning in the current context. Added explicit toFront and requestFocus calls so window gets focused.
