        Tested Platform: MacOS 15 aarch64
        Test Suite: Regression
        Test: java/awt/TextField/SetEchoCharWordOpsTest.java
        Description: java.awt.TextField allows to identify the spaces in a password when double clicked at the starting and end of the text even when setEchoChar() is set.
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Steps to Reproduce:
        1. Run java/awt/TextField/SetEchoCharWordOpsTest.java
        2. Double click at the start and the end of the text field containing *.

        Expected behavior: It should NOT allow highlighting the last or first words or it should not reveal that whether a space is there in the password or not.
        Actual behavior: It is highlighting the first and last words which will potentially allow to identify the number of words in a password and the length of each word.
