I have just downloaded the Java 8 update 40  (b04)  binary for Windows 64 ,  I'm seeing progress indicators in interderminate mode have a white background. This is a regression, it's visible in the ProgressIndicator demo as part of the JavaFX ensemble.


To Reproduce Simply run this this demo Ensemble example code below.  You'll see under Java 8 update 20, it renders as expected, under Java 8 update 40 (b04) the interdiminate indicator has white background.
