TextField memory leak (RT-22716) - any JDK 7 workarounds?

[Lesley Perkins]

I posted on the ticket, but also wanted to ask the community if there are any good workarounds for this bug in JDK 7?  I've confirmed that the leaked references are being held through the TextField caret animation.  This has become a critical issue for my project, as now a number of our clients are running out of memory.

What I've tried so far is to add event handler for WindowEvent.WINDOW_HIDING, and try to change focus to something that is NOT a text field, followed by setDisable(true) on the Scene's root node.  This appeared to work briefly, but now I'm still seeing the leak.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
