I expected this to work, but it doesn't draw anything:

        final StackPane rootPane = new StackPane();

        Text text = new Text("This is a text node");
        text.setCache(true);
        text.setCacheHint(CacheHint.SPEED);
        ScaleTransition scale = new ScaleTransition(Duration.seconds(5), text);
        scale.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE);
        scale.setAutoReverse(true);
        scale.setFromX(0);
        scale.setFromY(0);
        scale.setToX(5);
        scale.setToY(5);
        scale.play();
        rootPane.getChildren().add(text);

        Scene scene = new Scene(rootPane, 1200, 800);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();


It *should* have rendered the text node at its normal size, and then used this cached version for the subsequent animation. Instead it draws nothing.
