[webmin-l] Java 8 breaks the File Manager

[Daniel F. <dan...@sk...>]

Hi,

FYI.

Upgraded to Java 8 on my Windows 8.1 x64 PC. The File Manager in Webmin 
stopped functioning. Reverted to Java 7 and it works OK. Looks like 
changes for Java 8 stop the File Manager from working. Looking at 
console messages the problem appears to be related to caching of 
resources (gif files). When Java 8 is installed File Manager is running 
but it is just looping around trying to cache images which is failing, 
it eventually times out and responds. Clearing caches makes no 
difference. Thus under Java 8 File Manger does run but extremely slowly 
as to appear broken. I understand the File Manager is set to be replaced 
so at the moment my workaround is to live with Java 7 or use WinSCP.
