Hello,
I’ve been testing the new RichTextArea control and encountered a few
issues. Some may not be bugs, though I couldn't find existing reports,
so I’m sharing them here.
- The cursor doesn’t change from TEXT to DEFAULT when hovering over the
scrollbar.

- Setting font-family doesn’t work in CoreArea (but works in RichTextArea)
.rich-text-area .content, // only this line works
.code-area .content,
.code-area .content .label,
.code-area .content TextFlow {
-fx-font-family: "JetBrains Mono";
-fx-font-size: 14px;
}
I also hope there is room left for small enhancements:
- RichParagraph.getSegments() is abstract and package-private and a part
of public API.
Judging from API it's suposed to be extensible, otherwise it's not
possible to create a custom model.

- RichTextArea lacks the ability to set common editor settings directly
or via looked-up colors. I've created a project that brings TextMate
support to RTA, so I'm obtaining editor's background, text color and
highlight color from the theme settings.

Thanks for adding RichText support to JavaFX! Should I report all these
issues in JBS?
Best regards.
