JDK-8230926 - [macosx] Two apostrophes are entered instead of one with "U.S. International - PC" layout
Description
When 'US International - PC' keyboard layout is used on Mac OS, behavior of Java application on text input differs from native applications. In particular, input of single quote character followed by consonant character (e.g. v) produces 'v in native applications and just ' in Java application.

This does not seem to be a regression - the issue reproduces also when Apple's JRE is used.
Comments
After active work on the bug was stopped in 2016, behavior of JDK changed. Currently two apostrophe characters without a consonant character are entered in a text field instead of just one apostrophe character, what was the original behavior of JDK in this bug. This bug will be addressed by the fix for the newly filed bug JDK-8230926, which describes the same problem but in the context of the new JDK behavior. Closing the bug as a duplicate of JDK-8230926.
