        In the DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class we have a special field "activeWindow", which stores the currently active window. It is used in two similar cases:
          1. If the java window gets "WINDOW_ACTIVATED" event it will try to send "WINDOW_DEACTIVATED" to the old active window, which is stored in the "activeWindow" field.
          2. If the java component lost the focus, and the opposite component is not a java component, then it will try to send "WINDOW_DEACTIVATED" to the old active window, which is stored in the "activeWindow" field.

        The difference in these two cases is that in "case 1" we check the old active window to null[1], and the second case has no such check. The bug is reproduced in non-standalone mode, when we have a few Appcontexts and this field might be updated by different EDT in parallel.

        Note that the test is for OSX only, because of another bug: JDK-8204142[2]
