Hi

Another possibility is that there is a regression in AWT within Oracle Java itself. It is probably related with those bug reports (even though you don't use RMI):
http://sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImplPP
http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8019272

Oracle broke some things in the management of AppContext since Java 7 update 25, maybe a particular fix introduced another regression.

Try this workaround:

As you point out it's not reproducible with Java 1.7 update 53 but with Java 1.7 update 55, it looks like it has nothing to do with JOGL. It looks like an internal error of AWT.
