To reproduce, use example in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138683

- start editing such that the popup is open
- click on the arrow
- expected: popup closes (nothing else)
- actual: throws NPE

First lines of the stacktrace:

Worked as expected in release 8u60, could be introduced by https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138683
