A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I am using Java to work from home. My company requires Java to remotely work and access my desktop at the office. I am working from a MacBook (latest version Pro). Every time I change the language at my MacBook, Java crashes 


FREQUENCY : always
Comments
I am dropping jdk8u-fix-* labels from this issue and from JDK-8234786, at this point it is clear that approval for them was requested prematurely, sorry for the confusion.
15-11-2021
[~sgehwolf] Thanks for the approval! Just as you correctly stated this issue is blocked by JDK-8214578 , that introduced possible crashes. I assume, if JDK-8214578 is going to be reviewed and approved, the following 4 patches needs to be pushed at the same time: - JDK-8214578 (original change) - JDK-8248532 (this issue) - JDK-8234786 (another fix, that also applies cleanly on top of JDK-8214578) - JDK-8257242 (another fix, that, in addition to JDK-8214578, also requires JDK-8234786, so it was not marked for approval unlike previous 2)
05-11-2021
[~akasko] Are you going to push this to jdk8u? It's been approved. Update: This is pending conclusion on JDK-8214578 and if successful, pushed together.
05-11-2021
Fix request (8u) Requesting backport to 8u because it fixes the problem introduced with JDK-8214578 that is on review for 8u. Patch applies cleanly (with updated path) on top of JDK-8214578 and is intended to be pushed along with it. 8u exported changeset with updated path: https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~akasko/jdk8u/8248532/8248532_8u.patch
06-10-2021
Fix request (15u). I would like to backport the fix to jdk15u for parity with jdk11u. The original patch applied cleanly.
25-04-2021
Fix request (13u). I would like to backport the fix to jdk13u for parity with jdk11u. The original patch applied cleanly.
21-12-2020
Fix request (11u) -- will label after testing completed. I would like to downport this for parity with 11.0.10-oracle. Applies clean.

Changeset: 6329de45 Author: Prasanta Sadhukhan <psadhukhan@openjdk.org> Date: 2020-09-09 13:43:06 +0000 URL: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/commit/6329de45
09-09-2020
macos code historically uses NSNotificationCenter without any crash, so there's no need to use NSDistributedNotificationCenter. On further investigation , if is found we used wrong observer setup. So, proper fix is to use the implementation class as observer as is used in existing NSNotficationCenter setup in LWCToolkit.m
09-09-2020
Proposed fix is to use NSDistributedNotificationCenter for the notification handler. From https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Notifications/Articles/NotificationCenters.html it is seen that "NSNotificationCenter" This notification center handles notifications within a single process whereas "NSDistributedNotificationCenter" This distributed notification center handles notifications that can be sent between processes on a single machine. Since, the app is bundled with Java, notifications needed to handled between different processes in such case.

I could reproduce this crash with this app by switching between Romaji and English 1-2 times. However, I also tried with the JDK-8214578 testcase and tried switching between Romaji and English/US keyboard layout several times but could not see any crash. Is it possible to get a Java testcase?
27-08-2020
Steps to reproduce: - Install the mucommander 0.9.5, this version starts to use the jdk 11.0.7: https://github.com/mucommander/mucommander/releases - Run the mucomander: open /Applications/muCommander.app/ - Switch the input keyboard layout(I use RU<-->EN) a few times, probably select some other app and then move back, in a loop. - At some point, the crash occurs. To check that it was caused by the JDK-8214578: - Rollback the fix for JDK-8214578, and rebuild jdk11u - Delete the jdk11.0.7 used by the mucommander, it is located in /Applications/muCommander.app/Contents/PlugIns/macOS/Contents/Home/jre/ - Put your own build of JDK to the path above. - Run the mucomander: open /Applications/muCommander.app/ It will work fine.
31-07-2020
I can reproduce the crash, seems like a regression between 11.0.4 and 11.0.7. The crash occurs when the java and the app are bundled together, which could be a bundler issue.

Issue does not reproduce locally and we didn't get relevant details from the submitter as requested, therefore closing this as "Cannot Reproduce". If we receive any update in future with required details, we may consider reopening this issue.
07-07-2020
Reported with JDK 14.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.14.6, crash occurs in AppKit when user change keyboard language at his MacBook. Checked this with reported configuration but couldn't reproduce the issue. Written back to the submitter requesting additional information/steps.
