Description
Run HelloRectangle or HelloControls or pretty much any other app as follows (setting javafx.keepalive=true defeats the workaround as described in RT-17777):

    java -Djavafx.keepalive=true helloworld.HelloRectangle

Exit by pressing the window close button in the decoration

Most of the time the app will hang until another window (or the desktop) gets focus. I have attached a thread stack dump that I generated from a remote login shell (since clicking in a window on screen will allow the app to exit).

Note that we must remove the System.exit workaround in order to ship JavaFX on Mac for 2.1.

Raise priority to critical to match that of RT-17777.

NOTE: sometimes the app will crash instead of hang. That behavior is tracked with RT-19030
