In the authoring tool we're using:
             
            final Object platformImage = scene.renderToImage(null);
            image = Image.impl_fromPlatformImage(platformImage);

to create an image of an object (such as a Rectangle, or a Group, or whatever) in order to
display a thumbnail image of it in the inspector.

This works well on windows, but on MacOS we get an IllegalArgumentException in the render thread
which wedges the whole UI:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Upload requires 2704 elements, but only 0 elements remain in the buffer

The small example attached (needs jfxrt.jar and AuthoringTool.jar) shows that.
It creates a Rectangle in a Scene, then call the NodeRender (a class we use in the AT) to
create an image from it, then adds the image to the scenegraph.
shortly after the exception is raised.
