FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
8u111, tried older versions of 8 too

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
OS X Sierra

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If you have an input method enabled on the OS e.g. Japanese - Hiragana, as soon as you press a key Java shows a crash report

Tried capturing the input method event but the crash seems to occur before that

Note: doesn't happen when you have a text field in focus. If you just have an app open and hit a key the crash occurs



REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u45

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
Doesn't work in 9 either

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Open any java app
2. Switch to an input method e.g. Japanese-hiragana
3. Click on the JFrame to get focus
4. Press a key

any app will do but just tried this for example

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No crash
