ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.8 x64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Cursor set via Node.setCursor() is not correctly shown.
This appears to only effect Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.8. Same code running on Windows 7 works as expected.
Interestingly if you set a conditional breakpoint in eclipse javafx.scene.Scene.MouseHandler.updateCursorFrame() with "System.out.println(this.currCursorFrame); return false;" then the cursor displays correctly. This could likely indicate some threading/timing issue?

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the example
Move the mouse in and out of the red box

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Hand cursor only shown when mouse moved over the red box
ACTUAL -
Hand cursor shown when mouse moved outside in the red box, however normal cursor seen when inside.. i.e. the complete opposite
