      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      See Bug 6714678, which is still broken.

      Since I cannot reopen it, I'm filing this bug instead.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Set a breakpoint somewhere in a method triggered by an event/action handler (e.g. a button press).

      Once the application hits the breakpoint, the X window system freezes. Workaround as in issue 6714678.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      No freeze.
      ACTUAL -
      Freeze. The only way to unfreeze is to switch to a console and kill the debugged java process from there.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
