      Problem:
      The ability to call back to Java from JavaScript breaks after loading a page
      the 2nd time. The callback only survives the 1st page load.

      Platform:
      The bug applies to both Java 8u112 Mac + Windows

      Java Version:
      Current Java 9 early edition. It may exist in earlier editions too.

      How to reproduce:

      1) Create and install a WebView component in a UI
      2) Install a Javascript-to-java callback in accordance with
      https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/web/WebEngine.html

      3) Load a page that triggers the javascript-to-java callback
      4) Test the page. Should work
      5) Now reload the page
      6) The callback mechanism is now broken (nothing happens). Trying to
      reinstall it in the StateProperty callback doesn¿t help either.

      Workaround:
      Create another WebView+WebEngine instance and set up the callback mechanism
      once again. However, this causes other problems: On Mac one sometimes get
      complaints about lock files in the file system:
