**Analysis:** We are encountering a race condition in the native code. While retrieving the screen number by calling _getScreenImOn(), the window is disposed. As a result, the AWT-Windows event loop processes the Dispose() call, which triggers UnlinkObjects(). The race condition between the execution paths of these two native methods sometimes causes an exception
**Proposed Fix:** While it's possible to introduce a synchronization mechanism, it would not offer any real benefit. The window will be disposed regardless, and we’ll fall back to the default screen. This behavior is already handled in WWindowPeer.java, where a workaround is in place to use the default device when getScreenImOn() returns a non-existent screen number public void updateGC() { int scrn = getScreenImOn(); if (screenLog.isLoggable(PlatformLogger.Level.FINER)) { log.finer("Screen number: " + scrn); } // get current GD Win32GraphicsDevice oldDev = winGraphicsConfig.getDevice(); Win32GraphicsDevice newDev; GraphicsDevice[] devs = GraphicsEnvironment .getLocalGraphicsEnvironment() .getScreenDevices(); // Occasionally during device addition/removal getScreenImOn can return // a non-existing screen number. Use the default device in this case. if (scrn >= devs.length) { newDev = (Win32GraphicsDevice) GraphicsEnvironment .getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice(); } else { newDev = (Win32GraphicsDevice) devs[scrn]; } } Therefore, I propose modifying the native method getScreenImOn to return the default device if the peer is being disposed : jint AwtWindow::_GetScreenImOn(void *param) { ... jboolean destroyed = JNI_GET_DESTROYED(self); if (destroyed == JNI_TRUE){ env->DeleteGlobalRef(self); return AwtWin32GraphicsDevice::GetDefaultDeviceIndex(); } ... **Tests Summary:** GetGraphicsStressTest (existing test): Fails intermittently without the fix Consistently passes with the fix NotifyStressTest (newly added test): Consistently fails without the fix Consistently passes with the fix ------------- Commit messages: - Handle white spaces - remove extra-space - Update copyright - Return the default device if the peer is beeing disposed - Add Test for JDK-8346952 Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25619/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=25619&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8346952 Stats: 66 lines in 2 files changed: 66 ins; 0 del; 0 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25619.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/25619/head:pull/25619 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25619
