A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When switching themes in GTK and a JTextField is being used, Java can/will crash.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the testcase.
Begin switching the themes. At some point, maybe early on maybe after a couple of switches java will crash. My most recent attempt at switching themes took only 2 switches to cause the crash.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
no crash
ACTUAL -
a crash

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
(<unknown>:10076): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkEntry - did not receive focus-out-event. If you
connect a handler to this signal, it must return
FALSE so the entry gets the event as well

Gtk-ERROR **: file gtkentry.c: line 4671: assertion failed: (GTK_WIDGET_HAS_FOCUS (entry))
aborting...
zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped) java GTK_JTextField


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
