If I place a TilePane inside a HBox, it creates extra space, which is not used. It seems, the more children I add to the TilePane, the larger the extra space becomes.

setMaxHeight() and so on, does not have any effect.

This is related to RT-20209.



Sample:


import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Orientation;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.TilePane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBoxBuilder;
import javafx.stage.Stage;


public class TestApp4 extends Application {

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

    @Override
    public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        HBox root = new HBox();

        TilePane tilePane = new TilePane();
        tilePane.setStyle("-fx-border-color:red");
        tilePane.setOrientation(Orientation.HORIZONTAL);
        tilePane.setPrefColumns(5);
        //tilePane.setMaxHeight(Control.USE_PREF_SIZE);
        //tilePane.setMinHeight(Control.USE_PREF_SIZE);
        tilePane.getChildren().addAll(new Button("Test"), new Button("Test"), new Button("Test"), new Button("Long Text"));

        //root.setMaxHeight(Control.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE);
        root.getChildren().addAll(tilePane);

        Scene scene = new Scene(VBoxBuilder.create().children(root, new Button("NEU")).build());
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
}
