JDK-8221261 - deadlock of CInputMethod.characterIndexForPoint and webkit.InputMethodClientImpl.getLocationOffset
Description
When running a JavaFX WebView embedded in a JFXPanel on macOS 14, right after hitting the Caps lock key, a deadlock happens and the application freezes.

To reproduce, run the attached test with JDK 17+ and JavaFX 17+, and when the webView shows up, just hit the Caps lock key. The application will freeze.

A thread dump will show:

which points to  com.sun.javafx.webkit.InputMethodClientImpl.getTextLocation and sun.awt.im.InputMethodContext.getTextLocation, in a very similar way than this open issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8221261
Comments
I can confirm that this is the same bug as JDK-8221261, although *much* more easily reproducible on macOS 14. I am closing this bug as a duplicate and bumping the priority of JDK-8221261 to P2.

This is consistently reproducible and a blocking issue for the usage of affected applications on macOS 14.

Yes, the stack trace does look similar to JDK-8221261, so the root cause might be the same (in which case we would close this as a duplicate of that). It's possible that it happens more frequently on macOS 14 due to change in the OS.
