Comments
[~serb] Yes, there was a configuration issue when transitioning the openjdk/jdk21u repo. It should be fixed now and the PR is ready. Thanks!

Does the skara tools support "jdkXXu-critical-yes" label? the https://github.com/openjdk/jdk21u/pull/439 is not marked as green yet and an approval label on that PR was removed.

[~serb] Please close the JDK 21u-dev PR and request jdk21u-critical-request (instead of the regular one). We'd want to get this into 21.0.3 (April) as a critical fix. I would think the same applies to 17, 11 and 8.

Fix request (11u 8u) Mostly clean backport. The patch is slightly adjusted due to the missing https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8212701 in 8u and 11u.

Fix request 22: This affects Linux only and fixes a JCK conformance issue that was found to fail on all OpenJDK releases due to an external bug in the Gnome Shell. It is already fixed externally, but not all systems will receive the update. The bug is that the tray icon has visibility issues on affected Gnome Shell versions. There is no workaround available. Estimated risks are low, as we are only disabling SystemTray support on affected Linux configurations. All CI and related manual conformance tests are pass. https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/5a988a5087d0afbb577c6715fd5e1e44564888cb

The attached SysTrayBug.png shows that the image is not on the system bar where the location is black but is incorrectly placed at the top left of the main desktop image.

I can't reproduce it on my OL VMs(7.9, 8, 9) because it reports SystemTray.isSupported() to false. However, I can observe similar black icon on Ubuntu 22.04, but the issue is gone on Ubuntu 23.04(gnome 44.3), 23.10(gnome 45). This seems to be an external issue and it is already fixed in gnome-shell 44.1: Fix visibility of xembed icons [Marco; !2684] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/2127c62b210f605747e019e6e2abee82516e3ccb/NEWS#L152 Corresponding commit https://gitlab.gnome.org/3v1n0/gnome-shell/-/commit/20a81d786697f40880e81d867453b1bad9524ec1
