When a stage has multi levels of initOwner and it's closed before it's children it causes a crash on gnome-shell and sometimes X.org.


To reproduce:
1) Run the sample
2) Close the first stage entitled "Close me first"

Reproducible with gtk2 (-Djdk.gtk.version=2) and gtk3.

OK. In that case, you can review the change without testing whether it fixes the crash. I plan to upgrade my native desktop to Ubuntu 18.04 soon anyway, so I can test it.

[~kcr] That must be the issue. I have a Ubuntu 18.04 VM only, I don't have access to a native Ubuntu 18.04.
27-06-2019
[~pbansal] Are you running Ubuntu 18.04 in a virtual environment? It might be necessary to run natively.
27-06-2019
For me it happens every time. Tested on different machines (with different hardware) on different ubuntu versions (18.04 / 19.04).

Is it always reproducible or only intermittently reproducible? I have run the attached test multiple time with jfx-dev and jdk13. I don't see any crash on closing the stage entitled "Close me first" first. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and I tried with both gtk2 and gtk3.

[~kcr] ok, I will test it on Ubuntu 18.04
23-06-2019
[~pbansal] Can you test this with both JavaFX 13 and with JDK 8u212 on Ubuntu 18.04 or 19.04?

Fix linked.
