Request for backport of JDK-8144501

[Jonathan Giles]

Unfortunately openjfx-dev stripped the attachment, so please send that 
directly to me.

Are you certain that the linked changeset is the only change necessary 
to resolve the issue? A lot of code has changed in the selection models, 
and whilst the linked changeset is small enough that it can be 
backported, I'd be worried that it wasn't sufficient. If you haven't 
made a build with this change I can do it at some point, but please do 
flick through your test app.

Thanks,

-- Jonathan
