Yes, 8u77 has the FX fix for this issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8132775
However, due to the way Apple chose to enable this, you will need to
package your application with the appropriate entry in the Info.plist file.
The equivalent AWT fix --
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8041900 -- is fixed in 8u92
which is scheduled to be released next month.
