When I update my Nvidia driver to the latest one 353.30 or 353.06, the application that worked well before I did it crashed with the following information (it will not present with the older driver version like 352.86):

And the line causing the problem was
             gl = drawable.getGL().getGL4();

After some tests, I found the reason.

                Listener listener = new Listener();
                new GLDisplay(listener);
                new JFXPanel(); //setup JavaFX running environment, necessary
                new ControlPanel();

it worked fine sometimes, and also fell sometimes if I put GLDisplay content into the front initializing it first before initializing JavaFX.

                Listener listener = new Listener();
                new JFXPanel(); //setup JavaFX running environment, necessary
                new ControlPanel();
                new GLDisplay(listener);

and it will definitely fail if I put GLDisplay content behind initializing JavaFX.

Updated: some code for testing is uploaded here, and all rendering stuffs were deleted to make it clean.
