Thanks, I didn't know about that repo being available. `CFStringNormalize` in the code is applied to filenames. Removing that explicit normalization doesn't seem to make any existing jtreg test fail (checked `dnd` and `datatransfer` ones), but I wouldn't touch it without a reason (e.g. a user reporting a problem with it). It can be related to file access API implementation, which, AFAIU, is expected to ignore the normalization form when referring to a file by its name on macOS. After the proposed fix, filename can have a different representation in 'plain-text' and 'file-list'/'uri-list' flavors, as seen by a Java app, for a file 'copied' to clipboard e.g. from Finder, but I see no apparent problems with that. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6866
