+NEWT / Swing/AWT mixed usage:
+==================================
+
+1) Shut down menus when NEWT window gains focus:

+ glWindow.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
+ public void windowGainedFocus(WindowEvent arg0) {
+ MenuSelectionManager.defaultManager().clearSelectedPath();
+ }
+ });
++++
+
+2) Mixing hw/lw components

+Bug 6788954:
+ If an existing application embedds a heavyweight component in a frame,
+ and at the same time installs a custom glass pane,
+ the heavyweight component will disappear.
+ This regression is not very serious since we never supported mixing of hw and lw components
+ in general. The developer will have two options to resolve the problem:
+ 1. By modifying the software to tag the glass pane properly, or
+ 2. To suggest users to use the sun.awt.disableMixing system property
+ to disable the hw/lw mixing code at all.
