Hi,
Bug :
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8041909
Issue :
Uncaught exceptions in JComboBox listeners cause listener not to receive
events.
If an uncaught exception is thrown inside an action listener for a
JComboBox, that action listener will no longer receive action events.
Note that if an uncaught exception is thrown inside the action listener for
a JButton for example, the listener will still receive subsequent action events.
Root Cause :
fireActionEvent() method in JComboBox class has a boolean guard (namely
firingActionEvent) to ensure that an infinite loop is not created.
This guard is not reset if any exception occurs in actionPerformed() method.
This results in permanent breaking of subsequent action listener
invocations of JComboBox.
Fix :
The boolean guard (namely firingActionEvent) is reset in finally block.
This results in firingActionEvent being set to false at the end of
fireActionEvent() method even in case of exception in actionPerformed() method.

Request you to review.
