I have a problem in JavaFX 8 that neither onAction handler nor onMouseClicked handler are triggered when I click on a Button which are included in a ListView (ListCells). In JavaFX 2.X this works OK (means both handlers are triggered).

Here is a code sample:

 

    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
    import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Button;
    import javafx.scene.control.ListCell;
    import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
    import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
    import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    import javafx.util.Callback;
    public class ButtonInList extends Application {
        @Override
        public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
            ObservableList<String> items = FXCollections.observableArrayList();;
            items.addAll(
                    "Adam", "Alex", "Alfred", "Albert"
                    );
            final ListView<String> listView = new ListView<String>(items);
            listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<String>,
                    ListCell<String>>() {
                        @Override
                        public ListCell<String> call(ListView<String> list) {
                            return new ButtonCell();
                        }
                    });
            Button refButton = new Button("Reference");
            refButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
                @Override
                public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
                    System.out.println("Reference Button Handler");
                }
            });
            Pane root = new VBox();
            root.getChildren().addAll(refButton, listView);
            primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 200, 250));
            primaryStage.show();
        }
        static class ButtonCell extends ListCell<String> {
            @Override
            public void updateItem(final String item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);
                if (item != null) {
                    Button button = new Button(item);
                    button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
                        @Override
                        public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
                            System.out.println(item + " Button Handler");
                        }
                    });
                    setGraphic(button);
                }
            }
        }
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch(args);
        }
    }

 

Reference button prints correctly "Reference Button Handler", but buttons in ListView don't print anything.
