Is the actual update of the UI object done in a separate thread or in
the main UI thread? Because all UI changes need to be done in the main
application context thread (where the events are being handled) or you
will get strange stuff like this happening. You can use
"ApplicationContext.queueCallback(new Runnable() { ... });" to get the
update happening on the correct thread.
If it is happening in the right place, then we potentially have a bug.
But, I've never seen anything like this happening.

Subject: Issue with Threads and Panes
This is related to the question that I posted earlier that I had to use
a workaround for.
I have a TablePane with a ScrollPane with yet another TablePane inside
it. All of these are in a cardpane. The innermost TablePane contains a
list of data pulled from objects that implement Runnable.
What is happening is that when the object's status gets updated inside
the thread, the proper method is called to update the status field in
the UI, but only the color changes. The text does not update until I
move the mouse.
Example: All objects have an initial status of WAITING. This status is
shown in grey. Once it starts RUNNING, it changes to blue. FAIL is red
and PASS is green. The colors update properly no matter what, but the
text only changes when I move the mouse. Also the color being displayed
is a result of a switch case based on the status.
Has anyone else noticed delayed changes like this? I can't tell my users
to keep the mouse moving. :)
