Florian Kirmaier has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision: JDK-8269921 Reverted the change to the layout, so we can fix the main-bug without further discussions. ------------- Changes: - all: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/564/files - new: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/564/files/a9516f3d..404f7103 Webrevs: - full: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jfx&pr=564&range=03 - incr: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jfx&pr=564&range=02-03 Stats: 4 lines in 1 file changed: 3 ins; 0 del; 1 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/564.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jfx pull/564/head:pull/564 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/564
