      I am working on an application with a TabPane where each Tab header has a context menu. It is possible to drag and drop the tabs to rearrange them. After repositioning a tab, the context menu no longer appears. Here is a minimal program that reproduces the issue (by programmatically moving one tab) for me on 8u40 b06 (uncomment the lines indicated to see the issue):

      import javafx.application.Application;
      import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
      import javafx.event.EventHandler;
      import javafx.scene.Scene;
      import javafx.scene.control.ContextMenu;
      import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
      import javafx.scene.control.Tab;
      import javafx.scene.control.TabPane;
      import javafx.stage.Stage;

      public class TabPaneTest extends Application {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            launch(args);
        }

        @Override
        public void start(Stage stage) {
          final TabPane tabPane = new TabPane();
          Tab t1 = new Tab("T1");
          t1.setContextMenu(createContextMenu("T1"));
          Tab t2 = new Tab("T2");
          t2.setContextMenu(createContextMenu("T2"));
          Tab t3 = new Tab("T3");
          t3.setContextMenu(createContextMenu("T3"));
          Tab t4 = new Tab("T4");
          t4.setContextMenu(createContextMenu("T4"));
          Tab t5 = new Tab("T5");
          t5.setContextMenu(createContextMenu("T5"));
          tabPane.getTabs().add(t1);
          tabPane.getTabs().add(t2);
          tabPane.getTabs().add(t3);
          tabPane.getTabs().add(t4);
          tabPane.getTabs().add(t5);
          stage.setScene(new Scene(tabPane));
          stage.show();
          // uncomment these lines and the context menu on tab 4 is lost
          //tabPane.getTabs().remove(t4);
          //tabPane.getTabs().add(t4);
          //System.out.println(t4.getContextMenu()); // although the menu doesn't appear, it is not null on the Tab
        }
        
        private static ContextMenu createContextMenu(String prefix) {
      final ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
      MenuItem item1 = new MenuItem(prefix + ": About");
      item1.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
      System.out.println("About");
      }
      });
      MenuItem item2 = new MenuItem(prefix + ": Preferences");
      item2.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent e) {
      System.out.println("Preferences");
      }
      });
      contextMenu.getItems().addAll(item1, item2);
      return contextMenu;
        }
      }
