Yes, you are right, I checked it myself too. No the layout doesn't appear quite right but still it works. 
However in 8.10 the "test" and other buttons did not appear with OpenJDK/IcedTea plug in. It probably was a 
layout problem too, with the opposite results.


Still, since it works, I will try to stick with OpenJDK.
