Thank you Danesh for your contribution! I've just pushed the fix to JDK8
AWT repository.
My pleasure, thank you for the review and your feedback!
I'd like to request this be backported to JDK6 and JDK7 as well. The
same webrev should work (some lines are offset in 6 but the patch
applies fine). Let me know if you prefer a separate one for each though.
I've just filed a SubCR for 7103610 to have this fix back-ported to a 7
update release. As with any such back-porting, this may take some time.
Please stay tuned.
As to porting this fix to a 6 update release of OracleJDK, I'm not
really sure if this is possible at this stage w/o some serious
justification. 6 is an old release, and only fixes for very severe bugs
are acceptable for it.
However, I think there may be a possibility to port this fix to
OpenJDK6. I'm copying jdk6-dev@openjdk.java.net to clarify if the fix
[1] can be accepted. If OpenJDK6 folks agree, we'll file a SubCR for
this release and push the fix there.
