JDK-8126811 - Google Maps in WebView causes exception on Ubuntu
Description
If you run the example shown here:

http://java-buddy.blogspot.com.br/2012/03/embed-google-maps-in-javafx-webview.html

You will observe that the map can not be repositioned by dragging the mouse nor can it be zoomed by double clicking on the map with the mouse or using the scroll wheel.  Further, if you extend the example to add Markers to the map, they will not receive any mouse input either.  This functionality used to work in JavaFX 2.0 and 2.1.

Note: you can still click on the controls to reposition and move the map, it is just the map itself, along with any overlays, that no longer receive mouse input in version 2.2.

This happens because of a Google API v3 bug: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4238 In short, they check if the browser supports touch events, and if it does, they assume a tablet device and ignore mouse events completely. That doesn't happen with maps.google.com, so hopefully this bug is already fixed and the fix will be available in the next version of the API. See RT-22914 for more details.

If this happens only when running in a browser then it probably isn't a WebView bug. There have been similar issues in Glass and Deployment for Mac that could be affecting this. We need to test this with the b18 build right away.

Also, attempting to drag the map with the mouse will intermittently cause a NullPointerException: Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException: Clipboard.putContent: null data at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumClipboard.putContent(QuantumClipboard.java:442) at javafx.scene.input.Clipboard.setContent(Clipboard.java:226) at com.sun.webpane.sg.UIClientImpl.confirmStartDrag(UIClientImpl.java:178) at com.sun.webpane.platform.WebPage.confirmStartDrag(WebPage.java:860) at javafx.scene.web.WebView$19.handle(WebView.java:1202) at javafx.scene.web.WebView$19.handle(WebView.java:1199) at com.sun.javafx.event.CompositeEventHandler.dispatchBubblingEvent(CompositeEventHandler.java:69) at com.sun.javafx.event.EventHandlerManager.dispatchBubblingEvent(EventHandlerManager.java:217) at com.sun.javafx.event.EventHandlerManager.dispatchBubblingEvent(EventHandlerManager.java:170) at com.sun.javafx.event.CompositeEventDispatcher.dispatchBubblingEvent(CompositeEventDispatcher.java:38) at com.sun.javafx.event.BasicEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(BasicEventDispatcher.java:37) at com.sun.javafx.event.EventDispatchChainImpl.dispatchEvent(EventDispatchChainImpl.java:92) at com.sun.javafx.event.BasicEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(BasicEventDispatcher.java:35) at com.sun.javafx.event.EventDispatchChainImpl.dispatchEvent(EventDispatchChainImpl.java:92) at com.sun.javafx.event.EventUtil.fireEventImpl(EventUtil.java:53) at com.sun.javafx.event.EventUtil.fireEvent(EventUtil.java:33) at javafx.event.Event.fireEvent(Event.java:171) at javafx.scene.Scene$DnDGesture.fireEvent(Scene.java:2592) at javafx.scene.Scene$DnDGesture.process(Scene.java:2671) at javafx.scene.Scene$DnDGesture.access$8700(Scene.java:2568) at javafx.scene.Scene$MouseHandler.process(Scene.java:3305) at javafx.scene.Scene$MouseHandler.process(Scene.java:3129) at javafx.scene.Scene$MouseHandler.access$1900(Scene.java:3084) at javafx.scene.Scene.impl_processMouseEvent(Scene.java:1524) at javafx.scene.Scene$ScenePeerListener.mouseEvent(Scene.java:2226) at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.GlassViewEventHandler.handleMouseEvent(GlassViewEventHandler.java:227) at com.sun.glass.ui.View.handleMouseEvent(View.java:528) at com.sun.glass.ui.View.notifyMouse(View.java:922)
