Answer 1

The problem is now solved, it seems it is a bug of JavaFX.

I have solved by adding

lineChart.setAnimated(false); and it all works fine. In JIRA Kenai it has been proposed as bug by commenting lineChart.setCreateSymbols(false);

This also works but I think it is not the right answer, I can use .setCreateSymbols(false) or (true) having setted setAnimated(false);
