There is no animator in this program. There is an animator in this one:

Please can you put your source code temporarily here? It would be even better if you took the time to create a bug report.

You can simply use curl, wget or the JRE itself to update your JAR before running your software, by doing it inside the launch script so that the end user doesn't have to do it. I did something similar under Windows in Powershell + .NET a few weeks ago, it's doable with bash under GNU Linux and OS X as well. Applets are deprecated in Java 1.9 and will be removed from Java 1.10; Java Deployment Toolkit is already no longer working in some web browsers (especially MSIE) and Java Webstart will probably be abandoned too. If your bug occurs only in Java Webstart with JavaFX whereas the former will die and the latter is too difficult to support, there will be a very few chances for me to reproduce and fix this bug. Moreover, I cannot use OpenJFX/JavaFX at home yet, there is no OpenJFX build for my GNU Linux distribution yet :s

Do you reproduce this bug under Windows? I'll give a try to your rudimentary 3D tests tomorrow.
