A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Adding an event filter on stage cause ClassCastException in dispatchEvent when startEdit/cancelEdit is called on a treeCell

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Launch the attached app.
Expand "MyCompany Human Resources" node
Expand "Sales Departement" node
Double Click on the leaf "Ethan Williams"


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The cell should enter in editing mode
ACTUAL -
=> ClassCastException


Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.ClassCastException: javafx.stage.Stage cannot be cast to javafx.scene.control.TreeView
