Description
JFrame class setVisible(true) method takes more time on MacOSX (frame seems not to appear instantly, but shows gradually). I attached java code (test) here (bug6796710.java). In this file line 101 you can see Thread.sleep(1000); without this line test seems to fail intrmittently (try 10 -15 times without this line and you will see it).
Comments
The InfiniteLoop exception above was fixed by the JDK-8196100. The delay described in the description is needed to load and show the html file, it is unrelated to the show frame operation and realSync.

Note that OS X-specific clause WAS removed from Robot.waitForIdle() method, and as this bug was not fixed, many DnD tests on OS X failed consistently with "infinite loop" message (number of iterations on Mac exceeded MAX_ITERS).

Tests mentioned in JDK-8076178 (and much more) will stop failing as soon as this bug is fixed and OS X-specific clause removed from Robot.waitForIdle() method.

We've reviewed your bulk request (120 bugs) and are OK with deferring them to JDK 9. You can go ahead and update these to: - Set label to 8-defer-approved - FixVersion to 9 Thanks for doing a great job of summarizing the details for the bulk deferral for us! Kind regards, Mathias

jdk8: SQE agree to defer.

Considering the fact that realSync() can only do the best it can and there is a workaround for this issue (Thread.sleep(1000);) , I'd like to defer it past JDK 8 release.
