JDK-8028271 - Wrong alt processing during switching between windows.
Description
if during long event proccessing we switch to other java window and press 'Alt' then come back to first window.( this all must be done during event proccessing ).
"Alt" will be processed as event targeted to first windows and menu of first window will be selected.

Also this can be reproduced during fast alt+tab switching, if user release alt earlier then tab.

Testcase is attached.
Comments
The issue causes the following test case to throw NPE in jdk7u-dev: (1) Compile TestFrameAltKey.java. (2) run TestFrameAltKey.class on JDK7. (3) Push "Alt" key. Then, you will see NPE on the console. import java.awt.Frame; import javax.swing.UIManager; import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException; public class TestFrameAltKey { public static void main(String args[]){ try { UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); } catch (Throwable the) { the.printStackTrace(); } Frame frame = new Frame(); frame.setSize(400,400); frame.setVisible(true); } } So, please consider back porting the fix. More details are here: JDK-8004148.

Dmitry, yes, even so little fix requires new bug, I can't commit any changes without new bug id.
