Below is the list of issues that SQE found when testing JavaFX 8 building with JDK 8-b84.

Hudson job that used for this testing is http://jfx.us.oracle.com/hudson/view/FX-JDK8/job/8.0-gfx-8/
which is pulling from the latest graphics scrum and building with JDK 8-b84.

Hi Mong, Team,

We did some testing and looks like ensemble is broken there. Here is the result from Dmitry Ginzburg, SQE engineer in my team:

Hi, Misha

I've investigated FX build you sent to me and found some bugs in this build.

When I'm trying to start some test in Ensemble utility including charts tests (not all, but Candle Stick Chard, Pie Chart, Bubble Chart) I'm getting this error output:

All the application stops working after that and when I'm switching this window to the other and back I'm getting blank white screen.
The same exception is thrown in Audio Area Chart, Stack Area Chart, Curve-Fitted Chart, Area Chart, Line Chart and almost all the Charts.
Also, there were some other errors, but not so big, and I don't think they're bound with JDK8.
