JavaFX Ensemble Issue

[Joe McGlynn]

I'm able to reproduce this problem with Safari on OS X (64 bit of course), it's either a problem with the deployment of the Ensemble demo or a bug in FX support in 7u10.  We'll take a look ASAP, thanks for mentioning it.

The app that gave me trouble was built using the jfx packaging tool (which does some wiggy stuff with signing, pre-launchers, etc) and I thought worked on some computers but not others but too long ago to be sure.
