      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      Windows 7, also Redhat 8.2
      Both OpenJDK 11.0.9 and OpenJDK 14.0.1

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      In Java 8 it was possible to display an item in the ComboBox "button cell" which wasn't one of the items in the list
      This functionality is mentioned in comments in javafx.scene.control.skin.ComboBoxListViewSkin.updateValue() suggesting it should be possible

      // RT-21336 Show the ComboBox value even though it doesn't
      // exist in the ComboBox items list (part one of fix)

      Now in Java 11 (and 14) the behaviour has changed, the ComboBox displays blank

      REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Run the following. Press the button


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      "CHERRY" shown in ComboBox
      ACTUAL -
      ComboBox is blank

              fruits.setValue(Fruit.APPLE);
              Button button = new Button("Change");
              button.setOnAction(event -> {
                  fruits.setValue(Fruit.CHERRY);
              });

              primaryStage.show();
