JFX TabPane bug?

Show all headers | View raw

Before going through all the hassle with registering in JFX/Jira to
report this, I'd like to ask for your opinion. I am using JFX8 and have
a construct as follows:

VBox(instance vbox)->TabPane->Tab->TextField(fx:id="bla").

when I do a vbox.lookup("#bla"), I get null. When cascading this
differently - not through a TabPane -, the lookup succeeds. While
playing around, and reading the documentation carefully, I presume this
is due to the fact that "TabPane->Tab->" does not go through the
children list, thereby interrupting the tree search. From a consistency
point (documentation vs reality) this is probably correct, but it can
hardly be intended. This way, large parts of widget trees become
invisible for a lookup, at least as far as the usual queries go.

Sorry for not providing an SSCCE, I believe it to be easy to create, but
the JFX boiler plate code isn't all that interesting.

Any comments?

Michael
