  <!--  =================== Known bugs or issues related to JAVA Bugs =================== -->

 <ch_section>Known problems and workarounds</ch_section>
 <ul>
 <li>The Once Only controller behaves correctly under a Thread Group or Loop Controller,
 but otherwise its behaviour is not consistent (or clearly specified).</li>

 <li>
 The numbers that appear to the left of the green box are the number of active threads / total number of threads,
 the total number of threads only applies to a locally run test, otherwise it will show <code>0</code> (see <bugzilla>55510</bugzilla>).
 </li>

 <li>
 Note that under some windows systems you may have this WARNING:
 <source>
 java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences
 WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0
 x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(&hellip;) returned error code 5.
 </source>
 The fix is to run JMeter as Administrator, it will create the registry key for you, then you can restart JMeter as a normal user and you won't have the warning anymore.
 </li>

 <li>
 You may encounter the following error:
 <source>java.security.cert.CertificateException: Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints</source>
  if you run a HTTPS request on a web site with a SSL certificate (itself or one of SSL certificates in its chain of trust) with a signature
  algorithm using MD2 (like <code>md2WithRSAEncryption</code>) or with a SSL certificate with a size lower than 1024 bits.
 This error is related to increased security in Java 8+.
 <br></br>
 To allow you to perform your HTTPS request, you can downgrade the security of your Java installation by editing
 the Java <code>jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms</code> property. Remove the MD2 value or the constraint on size, depending on your case.
 <br></br>
 This property is in this file:
 <source>JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security</source>
 See  <bugzilla>56357</bugzilla> for details.
 </li>

 <li>
 Under Mac OSX Aggregate Graph will show wrong values due to mirroring effect on numbers.
 This is due to a known Java bug, see Bug <a href="https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8065373" >JDK-8065373</a>
 The fix is to use JDK8_u45 or later.
 </li>

 <li>
 View Results Tree may fail to display some HTML code under HTML renderer, see <bugzilla>54586</bugzilla>.
 This is due to a known Java bug which fails to parse "<code>px</code>" units in row/col attributes.
 See Bug <a href="https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8031109" >JDK-8031109</a>
 The fix is to use JDK9 b65 or later.
 </li>

 <li>
 JTable selection with keyboard (<keycombo><keysym>SHIFT</keysym><keysym>up/down</keysym></keycombo>) is totally unusable with Java 7 on Mac OSX.
 This is due to a known Java bug <a href="https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025126" >JDK-8025126</a>
 The fix is to use JDK 8 b132 or later.
 </li>

 <li>
 Since Java 11 the JavaScript implementation <a href="https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/335">Nashorn has been deprecated</a>.
 Java will emit the following deprecation warnings, if you are using JavaScript based on Nashorn.
 <source>
 Warning: Nashorn engine is planned to be removed from a future JDK release
 </source>
 To silence these warnings, add <code>-Dnashorn.args=--no-deprecation-warning</code> to your Java arguments.
 That can be achieved by setting the enviroment variable <code>JVM_ARGS</code>
 <source>
 export JVM_ARGS="-Dnashorn.args=--no-deprecation-warning"
 </source>
 </li>
 </ul>
