I've tried to create a simple test application in
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-35830.
It is still fairly long, but it shows the problem right from the start
when the Stage pops up.
Thanks :)

If you can create a simple test application it would be great if you
can log this as a Jira issue so that we can take a proper look into
this for you.

From an earlier posting on this list, I came to understand that in
JavaFX 8 it is no longer allowed to modify the children list in
layoutChildren, and that such modifications may need to be moved to
the computerPref* methods.
However, I get a different odd issue, and I'm wondering exactly what
is allowed and what isn't when it comes to layout (any documentation
on this?)
What's happening is the following:
I got a (subclass of) BorderPane, at the top I have a tab-like control
(let's call it a FilterControl). At the center I got a TreeView.
When the BorderPane gets laid out, I set up the content for both the
TreeView and the FilterControl. I do this in layoutChildren or in
computerPref* of the BorderPane -- it makes no difference. Setting up
the content for the FilterControl involves changing its children
list. The TreeView probably will do the same (adding/removing Cells
as needed).
Now, I'm seeing layout issues. The BorderPane for example is often
putting the TreeView right on top of the FilterControl (stuff is
transparent, so I can see it). With other attempts, the FilterControl
is not visible at all (zero height). Forcing an update (by changing
focus) usually clears up the issue and the FilterControl will take its
rightful spot and force the TreeView to be a little less high.
I'm thinking this is somekind of issue with layout and that I'm
approaching this wrong causing the layout problems. However, I don't
quite understand what I'm possibly doing wrong -- modifying the
children of the Top node of the BorderPane during BorderPane's own
computePref/layoutChildren call should be perfectly fine right?
Any help appreciated!
