Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-768:
------------------------------------
I can see two solutions to this
(1) we make TablePane.Filler components "transparent" to mouse/keyboard events,
so that it passes keyboard events to the component(s) below it
(2) we add some kind of z-axis specification to the TablePane Container, so
that the user can specify which z-order components should be displayed in.
I think option (1) will fix Chris' immediate problem, but this is a general
problem with any container component that is overloading the order of child
components with two meanings: painting order and layout order.
I'm in favour of implementing option (1) for version 2.0.1 and logging a
separate issue to discuss and implement option (2) for version 2.1.

> See attached BXML file and screenshot
> A workaround is to make the 'filler' Component non-visible, whether it is an
> actual TablePane.Filler or something else.
> (A non-visible Label works exactly the same as a TablePane.Filler instance)
> Perhaps TablePane.Filler should default to being non-visible to avoid this
> problem?
> I haven't investigated this in any way, so making the change may well have
> ramifications elsewhere.
