A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Since JavaFX 17.0.7, using Google Maps (http://www.google.com/maps) crashes the VM. Sometimes it doesn't crash the VM, but produces NullpointerException:

Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "Object.hashCode()" because "<parameter1>" is null

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just launch page www.google.com/maps using the JavaFX WebView browser, then type "New York" (for instance) in the search box. That triggers it

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The map should zoom to the specified location
ACTUAL -
I either get a thread dump (see above) or a complete VM freeze. It doens't produce any crash log, just that colorful spinning wheel mouse pointer.

FREQUENCY : always
