      Description

        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
        java version "1.8.0_60"
        Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
        Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

        ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
        Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The NumberAxis.autoRange method may enter an infinite loop if consecutive double values are added to a chart that are very close together. This is noticeable because the JavaFX thread will hang due to the infinite loop.

        The chart axis must have auto ranging enabled and NumberAxis.setForceZeroInRange(false).

        See attached minimal, complete, and verifiable example to repro.

        See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32513409/javafx-numberaxis-autorange-infinite-loop

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        1. Create LineChart
        2. Create Y-Axis NumberAxis with auto range enable and setForceZeroInRange(false)
        3. Add -20.98295609742171 to Y-Axis
        4. Add -20.982956097421706 to Y-Axis

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        The JavaFX thread should not hang and the chart should continue to update.
        ACTUAL -
        The JavaFX thread hangs and the chart stops updating

        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.

        CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
        Sanitize floating point chart input data such that values cannot be close to each other.
