P4
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "9"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9+181)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
MAC OS X 10.13.3
also affects Windows 7, others not tested
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Anchor links do not work in WebView component when HTML is loaded using the WebEngine.loadContent() method. When storing the identical HTML to a file and using WebEngine.load() with the file's URL works as expected.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run attached source code. Click on the "Introduction" link.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
WebView should scroll to the line containing the anchor #introduction.
ACTUAL -
Nothing happens.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No errors or Eceptions are reported.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Storing HTML to a file and using WebEngine.load(URL) instead. But depending on the application, this could reuqire new permissions or introduce new vulnerabilities into the application code.
