Hello all,

Sorry for the vague title, but I really couldn't think of a good title for this issue, so I will explain it now.

I created a custom control and I was setting it to my scene. I added my scene to my stage and got a huge scene for some reason which was odd.

I then tried to manually set the scene's width and height to the value of my control

  scene = new Scene(login, login.getWidth(), login.getHeight());
            
but for some reason the error still persisted, the scene was still big. I tried some printlns and found that my values for height and width were 0, max height was -1.

I then looked at my FXML file and saw that it defines "prefHeight" even though in Scene Builder there are disabled width/height TextFields that corresponds to the prefWidth/Height.

I then tried the pref values and it worked.

Originally height and width were 0, but for some reason, when setting the scene to prefWidth and Height, for some reason the logincontrol's width and height now equal the prefwidth/height...

This is very weird, and I think it's a bug and should be fixed. This also makes sense why the scene wasn't the size of my custom control. It was using the values for width/height most likely, and not the pref ones.

Here is my code.

0.0???? fsdjaflksdja 227.0????



0.0 fsdjaflksdja -1.0

227.0???? fsdjaflksdja 227.0??????




227.0 fsdjaflksdja -1.0
