Description
Some JFX tests rely on certain assumptions that System.gc(); will do things imediately.

@ignore these tests for now, until we can reevaluate them in JDK-8088735
Comments
This issue is not causing failure currently so will not fix. Will revisit the issue if we encounter the problem in the future.

Some of these test WeakReferences and those seem likely to work.
