This is a little bit hard to describe, but easy to understand, when you run the code.

I often use CellFactories for my ListViews and Trees, because I usually display more than just text.

I do that by using setGraphic and a custom node which meets my requirements.

I recognized that when I do that, that the text color is not changed to white, when the cell is focussed.

If I just use setText it works.

This seem to affect every setGraphic method so far: TitledPane, ListView, TreeView
