Hi @mintykat. thanks, I'm glad I also could help others :) Usually the fix will be available with the next main release. I'm not 100% sure, but it should be JavaFX 22. I don't know the exact relase date, but it seems it will be well into next year (I think around March?).. All in all your options depend on which JDK/Java version you are bound to. Since you 'still' use JavaFX 11, it seems you need a backport of this fix. If you are up to the task, you can build your own version with the adapted source code (Steps to build JavaFX are described here: https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX). Or you might ask the project leads  (@kevinrushforth or @johanvos) to backport this fix. I don't know how requests for backports are handled, but it might be, that you need some sort of support plan from Gluon. But I'm also not sure about this.
