When the initial value of a styleable property is not specified in a stylesheet, no transition is started:
.button { transition: -fx-opacity 1s; } .button:hover { -fx-opacity: 0.5; } The expected behavior is that a transition is started in this case, since the default value of `-fx-opacity` is 1. The reason for this bug is that `StyleableProperty` implementations do not start a CSS transition when the value is applied for the first time. The intention behind this is that a node that is added to the scene graph should not start transitions. CSS transitions should only be started _after_ the node has been shown for the first time. The logic to detect this situation is currently as follows: // If this.origin == null, we're setting the value for the first time. // No transition should be started in this case. TransitionDefinition transition = this.origin != null && getBean() instanceof Node node ? NodeHelper.findTransitionDefinition(node, getCssMetaData()) : null; However, this does not work. When no initial style is specified in the stylesheet, `this.origin` will not be set, and thus no transition will be started even after the node has been shown. The new logic works like this: A `Node.initialCssState` flag is added. Initially, this is `true`. Manually calling `applyCss` or similar methods will not clear this flag, as we consider all manual CSS processing to be part of the "initial CSS state". Only at the end of `Scene.doCSSPass` will this flag be cleared on all nodes that have expressed their interest. This mechanism ensures that a node will be eligible for CSS transitions only after the following conditions have been satisfied: 1. The node was added to a scene graph 2. CSS processing was completed for a scene pulse ------------- Commit messages: - start transitions only when not in initial CSS state Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1607/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jfx&pr=1607&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8342703 Stats: 178 lines in 13 files changed: 152 ins; 8 del; 18 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1607.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jfx.git pull/1607/head:pull/1607 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1607
