Util.shutdown() needs a Stage argument, otherwise it does nothing. Perhaps we could change the impl. to shutdown all the stages regardless instead of passing an array of them. And, of course, there is more than one place where we do it. Good job, me! ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1361#discussion_r1484600775
