[Bug swing/24942] New: DefaultCaret is not always

[mark at gcc dot gnu dot org]

While testing the new swing.Timer implementation patch I saw that DefaultCaret
is not always stopping its blinkingTimer when it looses focus. This is mostly
harmless since the caret is hidden in that case anyway. But it makes the Timer
do much more work then needed. I didn't completely understand the interaction
between the focus events, the visibility of the caret and the textComponent
editiable and enabled properties so I haven't fixed this yet.

To help debug this problem we probably should add some debugging code to
swing.Timer to track the number of running tasks and where and when a
particular new Timer is started/stopped. A shutdown hook could then be added
that warns about any left over tasks.
