Title Body

It seems WindowEvent.WINDOW_SHOWN never gets dispatched on any of the nodes in the scene graph, nor is there anyway (that I could find) to know when a node is visible/rendered/shown. For example: TestLauncher.java package com.example.javafx.event; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader; import javafx.scene.Parent; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class TestLauncher extends Application { public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(TestLauncher.class, args); } @Override public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception { Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(TestController.class.getResource("TestView.fxml")); Scene scene = new Scene(root); stage.setScene(scene); stage.show(); } } TestController.java package com.example.javafx.event; import java.net.URL; import java.util.ResourceBundle; import javafx.event.EventHandler; import javafx.fxml.FXML; import javafx.fxml.Initializable; import javafx.scene.Parent; import javafx.scene.control.TextField; import javafx.stage.WindowEvent; public class TestController implements Initializable { @FXML private Parent root; @FXML private TextField serverAddressInput; @FXML private TextField usernameInput; @Override public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) { serverAddressInput.setText("127.0.0.1"); //won't work because stage isn't visible yet trySetFocusOnUsernameInput1(); //apparently Stage never passes on any WindowEvents to the children... trySetFocusOnUsernameInput2(); } private void trySetFocusOnUsernameInput1() { usernameInput.requestFocus(); } private void trySetFocusOnUsernameInput2() { root.addEventFilter(WindowEvent.WINDOW_SHOWN, new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() { @Override
