JDK-8042484 - [macosx] Component.getMousePosition() does not work in an applet on MacOS
Description
Component.getMousePosition() always return null in an applet on MacOS.
I tested 7u55b36.
This behaviour appeared after fix for JDK-8042484.

Steps to reproduce:
0)remove java plugin:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
1)Install 7u55b36 on mac os x. (I used .dmg package from jre.us.oracle.com)
2)open i2.html in browser (I attached applet and html file to JDK-8042484).

The problem is reproducible only on 7u55-b35 and 7u55-b36. It does not occur on 7u60-b31 and 7u80. The problem was fixed by JDK-8016489. We do not have any plans to backport JDK-8016489 to 7u55, please use 7u60 or 7u80 instead.
