RE: GNOME shell magnifier does not track Java UI events

While researching IntelliJ IDEAs accessibility status on Linux and I found the following bug report:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-149219

What I understand is that IntelliJ IDEA turns the ATK wrapper off by setting the following registry key on start-up:

	linux.jdk.accessibility.atkwrapper.block=true

The reason for their decision seems to be that many exceptions were thrown, because the ATK wrapper accesses Swing components and/or related classes from outside the event dispatcher thread. Here's the open issue they refer to:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758242

Can anybody please clarify what the status is of that issue? As far as I understand the ATK wrapper is currently not suitable for Swing applications due to that threading issue.
BTW: It would be very nice if the current maintainer could shine some light on the status of the ATK wrapper. Thanks!

Thanks in advance!
