JDK-8177945 : Single cell selection flickers when adding data to TableView

[Danny Gonzalez]

There is currently an open bug to do with the issue of selection flickering when using single cell selection and when adding data to a TableView.
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8177945

This bug seems to be low priority because it hasn’t been looked at since I submitted it at the start of 2017.

This is quite a major issue for us so I have narrowed down when the issue was first introduced.

Here is the changeset:

commit 05afad6b528e871d607b76aea2642cf788b417fe
Author: David Grieve <dgrieve at openjdk.org<mailto:dgrieve at openjdk.org>>
Date:   Tue Apr 15 11:51:38 2014 -0400

    RT-36672: move code to process css during layout back to impl_reapplyCSS, which is where it was priort to RT-36559


I can’t search the bug database for this bug ID as I believe it was submitted when a previous bug tracking system was in use.

Does anyone have any knowledge as to why this fix was needed and what the repercussions would be if I reverted it out for our local OpenJFX build.

Alternatively I would be glad to receive any suggestions of how to fix the flickering issue if this changeset is important to leave in.

Thanks

Danny
