Description
This issue came out of the mailing list discussion

> ESC is the key binding to Undo on the TextField, but it's always consumed,
> even if there's nothing to undo.
(later corrected to ~ "nothing to cancel") 

We might have other scenarios where the KeyEvent is consumed regardless of the outcome, so please investigate.

I plan to fix it after the Public InputMap JDK-8314968 enhancement is in.
