Hello. I'm new to JavaFX and Webview. I've been porting over a GWT application, and am using WebView to render a model-based text / image based ui. I really like JavaFX a lot more than Swing, after getting using to the threading quirks that is.
I have found 4 problems that appear to be bugs in the library or problems/regressions with the version of webkit that JavaFX is using:
1) scrollIntoView() does not seem to be an included api method within an Element. I use this method heavily.
2) css style "image-rendering: pixelated;" does not seem to be honoured. The result is that pixel-art style pngs/gifs are filtered/blurred. This looks horrible.
3) Inline image urls work in 1.8u20, 1.8u51, but they do not render at all in 1.8u121. Between release 51 and 121, there appears to have been a regression. Nothing at all renders for these items, and I tested using the exact same sourcecode, only switching the JRE/JDK.
4) Css style "display:flex;" does not work. Have to use "-webkit-display:flex;".
So, my questions are.
A) Are there workarounds for one or more of these issues?
B) If not, should I raise bug reports / feature requests somewhere?
C) Will there be a Webkit engine boost coming in Java 9, and if so, when is it likely to be available?
