WebView rendering issues

[Doug Schaefer]

We're seeing some really horrible rendering issues with the WebView. We're running it under a SWT FXCanvas so I'm not sure whether it's the WebView or FXCanvas. But I do see a number of report of WebView rendering problems on stack overflow and in JIRA. The comment in this one has me very worried.

"We are sorry, but at this time we have no resources to work on WebView bugs for the 8u20 release. Unfortunately, we will have to defer them to 8u40."

As things stand, we'll have to switch back to SWT Browser hell because this new hell is much worse. Just wondering what the timeline for 8u40 would be so we can come back.
