Drag And Drop hangs on Windows

ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Windows 10 x64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The drag and drop operation from Java application to Windows explorer hangs the application.
This worked before JDK 8u301 and JDK 11.0.12. It seems like this issue is caused by https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8262446



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Start the attached application
2. Drag a file from the attached application
3. Drop it in a Windows explorer

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The dragged file should appear in the Windows explorer
ACTUAL -
The dragged file does not show up in the drop area and the client is locked.
