      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The promptText for the comboBox is displayed only on load. When a value is selected and cleared, the prompt text is not displayed. This used to work in JavaFX 8.

      REGRESSION : Last worked in version 8

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Set promptText to a comboBox which has no value by default.
      2. Select an option from the comboBox. The promptText is removed and a value is displayed.
      3. Clear the value of the comboBox. (using some external call)


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The promptText should be displayed in the ComboBox.
      ACTUAL -
      The promptText is NOT displayed in the ComboBox.
