JDK-8267425 - Intermittent failure of HonorDeveloperSettingsTest unit test
Description
The test HonorDeveloperSettingsTest.testOpacityWithManuallyChangedValueAndInlineStyleIsSetToInlineStyle is failing intermittently only on GHA build on linux platform. see: JDK-8267425

A fix proposed at https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/509 is a potential fix which adds cleanup of test. But we do not know the root cause of this failure.
Identifying the root cause may take longer and we might push that to test sprint and the test failure results in failing the github checks on PR. 
So we need to mark this test as unstable.
As of now the test fails only on linux so we will mark it unstable only for linux.

Are you sure that testOpacityWithManuallyChangedValueAndInlineStyleIsSetToInlineStyle is the only failing test? I think I've seen other tests fail as well, which would mean that the entire test class should be marked as unstable. Update: Since the NPE is happening in the setup method, which is run before the test itself runs, it seems unlikely that marking just a single test method as unstable is sufficient.
