I left a couple comments about a (minor) merge issue.

modules/javafx.graphics/src/main/native-glass/mac/GlassWindow+Overrides.m line 
76:

> 74:     self->hostMenu = [NSApp mainMenu];
> 75: 
> 76:     //NSLog(@"windowDidBecomeKey: %p", self);

Minor merge issue: This should be the first line of this method.

modules/javafx.graphics/src/main/native-glass/mac/GlassWindow+Overrides.m line 
112:

> 110:     }
> 111: 
> 112:     //NSLog(@"windowDidResignKey: %p", self);

Minor merge issue: This should be the first line of this method.
