Steps to reproduce:
throw new NPE()(for example, when showing the AboutDialog)With #2287 the uncaught error is logged properly, but still no error message is displayed to the user. However, the code in
FallbackExceptionHandlercan easily be adapted to show a message to the user, see e.g. http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue196.html.As there is an ExceptionDialog for JavaFX, I mark this issue as after-javafx.
