Fx questions

[Dr. Michael Paus]

This is good to know but I just gave it a try on my MacBookPro Retina
and it failed.

I opened the youtube start page and there was an add at the top
(from Porsche :-)) which indeed played a video. Cool!

But when I then clicked on the link to close the add java crashed
completely.

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x000000014946489e, pid=4440, tid=87311

# JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_72-b05) (build 
1.8.0_72-ea-b05)
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.72-b05 mixed mode 
bsd-amd64 compressed oops)

# C  [libjfxmedia_avf.dylib+0x789e] 
_ZN18AVFKernelComponent18ProcessBufferListsERjRK15AudioBufferListRS1_j+0x22
#

Obviously I'm having sticky fingers or so because I always catch all 
bugs which are lurking arround.
Frustrating.
