    Description

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      1.8.0_121-b13

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Tested on Xubuntu 16.04 and Mac OS-X.

      EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
      Nothing special

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      TextField setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT) should right align text. If the text is changed after the stage has been shown, the text left-aligns to the left edge of the previous text-field contents.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Create a text field. Set alignment to Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT. Set text in the text field to be something short. Show the stage. Change the text to a long string: note that the long string is left-aligned to a point in the middle of the text field

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      If Post.BASELINE_RIGHT is set, the text should always be right-aligned.
      ACTUAL -
      The text is left-aligned to a point in the middle of the text field.

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      package Bug;

      import javafx.application.Application;
      import javafx.geometry.Pos;
      import javafx.scene.Scene;
      import javafx.scene.control.Label;
      import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
      import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
      import javafx.stage.Stage;

      public class TextFieldBug extends Application {
      private final String SHORT_TEXT = "A short text";
      private final String LONG_TEXT = "Long text this is a long text this is a long text";

      private Label lblLeft = new Label("Left justified");
      private TextField txtLeftShort = new TextField(SHORT_TEXT);
      private TextField txtLeftLong = new TextField(SHORT_TEXT);

      private Label lblRight = new Label("Right justified");
      private TextField txtRightShort = new TextField(SHORT_TEXT);
      private TextField txtRightLong = new TextField(SHORT_TEXT);

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

      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
      GridPane root = new GridPane();
      root.addColumn(0, lblLeft, txtLeftShort, txtLeftLong);
      root.addColumn(1, lblRight, txtRightShort, txtRightLong);

      lblLeft.setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_LEFT);
      txtLeftShort.setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_LEFT);
      txtLeftLong.setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_LEFT);

      lblRight.setMaxWidth(9999);
      lblRight.setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT);
      txtRightShort.setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT);
      txtRightLong.setAlignment(Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT);

      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 200);
      primaryStage.setScene(scene);
      primaryStage.setTitle("Text field alignment bug");
      primaryStage.show();

      // Changing text after "show"
      txtLeftLong.setText(LONG_TEXT);
      txtRightLong.setText(LONG_TEXT);
      }
      }

      ---------- END SOURCE ----------

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      After setting the text, change the alignment to Pos.BASELINE_LEFT, then change it back to Pos.BASELINE_RIGHT
