      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.8.0_92"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Microsoft Windows [version 6.1.7601]

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When in a JavaFX application you have multiple WebViews that load the same URL ; the changes reported by a listener on : view.getEngine().getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener(...) are totally incoherent.

      The same code works well when the URL are totally different.

      The bug occurs in all the versions I have tested 1.8.0_92, 1.8.0_74 & 1.8.0_102-ea-b01.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      execute the attached class and verify the logs ; incoherent states & missing DOM object are reported.

      The class support 3 modes, defined by the value of urlMode variable line 34.

      when urlMode = UrlMode.UNIQUE => multiple views opening the exact same URL
      when urlMode = UrlMode.UNIQUE_DIFF_PARAMETER=> multiple views opening the same URL with different parameters (html app
      scenario)
      when urlMode = UrlMode.MULTIPLE => multiple views opening different URLs

      Only when the URL are really different then no errors are reported , otherwise the listener receives incoherent information:
      - bad order of state changes
      - multiple times the same state
      - missing DOM document object when state is succeed

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Even when multiple webviews work on the same URL:
      - the reported states of the load worker are coherent
      - the dom object is available when the webpage succeed to load
      ACTUAL -
      Incoherent results when loading several time the same URL

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Do not allow multiple webviews to load in parallel :-(
