Yea, I'm surprised the infamous TCK regression suite didn't include something so fundamental.

That said, javafx is a bit of an orphan compared the rest of the JDK. And that's why it's getting pushed out.

I don't know if this is your issue but in a minor Java 8 release, the JavaFX team made all references held by a webview's JS weak references.

What a dramatic change over what seems to be a solvable memory leak. I only toyed with JavaFX but at least it's webview is dead to me.

interesting. no, it is not my issue - in my case nothing gets rendered in WebView, the view stays blank.

and another thing - how does one submit a defect report to Oracle? neither bugs.openjdk.java.net nor bugs.java.com have a clear link, and I can't find where one can register an account.

JavaFX HiDPI support on Windows also underwent breaking changes in minor Java 8 updates. It's probably for the best that JavaFX can have its own, independent version number now that it was kicked out of the JDK.
