A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Related bug:
JDK-8087707 : Cannot select row in tableview when maximazing window

I have to create new bug with different reproduction procedure as I was unable to add more comments to existing bug (perhaps Oracle should have easier interface if comment is allowed or add comment feature to bug reports)

Beside maximizing the window as mentioned in the JDK-8087707 bug, resizing the window will create the same behavior.

I filed this bugs months ago at the javafx support website which was recently closed so I assume java developer is either unable to reproduce this problem or ignore it due to importance level. As this affects user experience I can see frustration from time to time.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u60

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Basically run an application that has table.
Either maximize or resize the window and try to select a row in the table.
What I noticed was that when resizing, if you resize fast and release the mouse fast it will break easier.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
What I noticed is when it works I get 6 mouse events for every mouse press and release (three for mouse pressed and three for mouse release):

MouseEvent [source = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', target = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', eventType = MOUSE_PRESSED, consumed = false, x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, primaryButtonDown, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', point = Point3D [x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0], distance = 2646.024022566334]

MouseEvent [source = TableRow@50f6d74d[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', target = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', eventType = MOUSE_PRESSED, consumed = false, x = 1052.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, primaryButtonDown, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', point = Point3D [x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0], distance = 2646.024022566334]

MouseEvent [source = RackUnitTable[id=Aos_RUTable_Delete, styleClass=table-view column-header-background], target = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', eventType = MOUSE_PRESSED, consumed = false, x = 1052.0, y = 181.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, primaryButtonDown, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', point = Point3D [x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0], distance = 2646.024022566334]

MouseEvent [source = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', target = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', eventType = MOUSE_RELEASED, consumed = false, x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', point = Point3D [x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0], distance = 2646.024022566334]

MouseEvent [source = TableRow@50f6d74d[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', target = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', eventType = MOUSE_RELEASED, consumed = false, x = 1052.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', point = Point3D [x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0], distance = 2646.024022566334]

MouseEvent [source = RackUnitTable[id=Aos_RUTable_Delete, styleClass=table-view column-header-background], target = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', eventType = MOUSE_RELEASED, consumed = false, x = 1052.0, y = 181.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableColumn$1$1[id=null, styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-cell table-column]'Rack Unit', point = Point3D [x = 123.0, y = 13.0, z = 0.0], distance = 2646.024022566334]



ACTUAL -
When it breaks, I only see 4 events (two mouse pressed and two mouse released). The mouse pressed and mouse release event for the Column is missing:

MouseEvent [source = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', target = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', eventType = MOUSE_PRESSED, consumed = false, x = 707.0, y = 7.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, primaryButtonDown, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', point = Point3D [x = 707.0, y = 7.0, z = 0.0], distance = 1968.6568009925832]

MouseEvent [source = RackUnitTable[id=Aos_RUTable_Delete, styleClass=table-view column-header-background], target = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', eventType = MOUSE_PRESSED, consumed = false, x = 707.0, y = 151.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, primaryButtonDown, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', point = Point3D [x = 707.0, y = 7.0, z = 0.0], distance = 1968.6568009925832]

MouseEvent [source = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', target = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', eventType = MOUSE_RELEASED, consumed = false, x = 707.0, y = 7.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', point = Point3D [x = 707.0, y = 7.0, z = 0.0], distance = 1968.6568009925832]

MouseEvent [source = RackUnitTable[id=Aos_RUTable_Delete, styleClass=table-view column-header-background], target = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', eventType = MOUSE_RELEASED, consumed = false, x = 707.0, y = 151.0, z = 0.0, button = PRIMARY, pickResult = PickResult [node = TableRow@3a64acd3[styleClass=cell indexed-cell table-row-cell]'null', point = Point3D [x = 707.0, y = 7.0, z = 0.0], distance = 1968.6568009925832]


Further digging I see that when it is in broken mode, the Node.processCSS() was not called which in turn does not register the column to mouse event therefore the BehaviorSkinBase.mouseHandler did not get called for the column when mouse pressed.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced often.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Resize window until it works.
