      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      openjdk version "1.8.0_72-internal"
      OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_72-internal-b05)


      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.2.6-1 (2015-11-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux

      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      This also happens in older versions of Java 8 on Linux, not new to this update.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      On Linux, Dropdown lists disappear on mouse movement, making them impossible to use. The problem can be seen in SceneBuilder, for example.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      One example for reproducing - in SceneBuilder -

      1. Select a "Label" control.
      2. Open the "Font" property.
      3. Click on either "Family" or "Style"
      4. Move mouse to try and select an option

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The dropdown should remain visible until a selection is made, or else another control is clicked
      ACTUAL -
      The dropdown disappears as soon as the mouse moves, even if movement is into the dropdown list.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
