Description
Solar System CSS3 sample works poorly on Lombard: freezes happen when opening tooltips about planets.

To reproduce, load http://neography.com/experiment/circles/solarsystem/ into any WebNode application, and move mouse pointer over planet/Sun names to the right. As I understand (and as 2.2.4 behaves) a tooltip with text should appear for every planet, and the planet itself should become highlighted. This often doesn't happen, and the whole application (and sometimes even OS) freezes. Often, application crashes.

There is no such problem in 2.2.4.
Comments
Performance has been fixed by enabling accelerated compositing, see RT-22913. Since then however, a regression occurred, which is tracked under RT-24738.

The example works noticeably better now that RT-25219 is fixed. The only problem left is it pauses for a second or so when the user hovers over the word "Saturn". Have no idea yet what can be special about Saturn. Saturn Rings?

WebView definitely has problems with this test in Lombard, no question here. They are consequences of RT-22913 and RT-23842, and probably few other things. Looking into them.

Vasiliy, still JavaFX 2.2.4 shows a much better performance compared to 8.0.0 (which is mystery to me). Maybe there's something about fonts rendering - 8.0.0 fonts in the tooltips look different from 2.2.4 ones.

FWIW, this example is not very slick in Chrome too. If I start hovering over planet names in Chrome, the app soon starts refreshing at the rate of less than 1 frame per second.

I'm marking this as a regression as the sample works substantially better in 2.2.4.
