This looks ok, but I'm still a bit worried about possible regression. I understand that rigorous automated tests are hard in this case, but I wonder if we can have some basic tests at least. Is there an issue in the Robot implementation preventing this? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/425
