A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The ImageIcon does not reassert the interrupt status of the current thread. If the interrupt signal is used to cancel a task that displays a message dialog, the ImageIcon will lose that signal.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The interrupt status of the current thread should return true. Then the caller would know if the action was canceled.
ACTUAL -
INTERRUPTED while loading Image
false

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
INTERRUPTED while loading Image

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
