JDK-8160570 - [macosx] modal dialog can skip the activation/focus events
Description
In Dialog.conditionalShow() there's the following logic: 

if (modal) { 
  ... 
  modalShow(); 
} 
... 
peer.setVisible(true); 

Then: 

modalShow() -> blockWindows() -> peer.blockWindows() -> LWWindowPeer.setModalBlocked() -> CPlatformWindow.setModalBlocked() -> checkBlockingAndOrder() -> 

        CWrapper.NSWindow.orderFrontRegardless(nsWindowPtr); 
        CWrapper.NSWindow.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nsWindowPtr); 
        CWrapper.NSWindow.makeMainWindow(nsWindowPtr); 

This actually shows the platform window, before peer.setVisible(true) is called.

This seems unexpected and is a potential source of issues (like 8160570).
