On OS-X with JDK8 b123 (also with older builds) a combo box which has focus consumes ESC and ENTER key events which then are not processed by the dialog box to close. The same works correctly with JDK7u45.

Defer justification: The issue is reproducible, this is a regression of the fix for JDK-8004050. However, it's not critical and is definitely not a show stopper for JDK 8.
