I don't think we need to specify anything here about use after dispose(). It is the case from the very beginning for all instances of java.awt.Graphics and its sub-classes. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.desktop/java/awt/Graphics.html#dispose() The other part about not causing a crash. I agree. But that's not related to specification and should be handled separately. I played around and I did actually get a crash on macOS. I will submit a PR for that very shortly ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/27474#issuecomment-3423650229
