Edit 2024/05/20: it is yet unclear whether we should add this capability to TableColumn. The original report is not a bug.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When TableColumn width is set only using CSS it gives wrong results.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the provided code. You will see this result https://i.stack.imgur.com/atAvA.png . So, when column width is set using Java code then everything seems to be OK. However, if you try to set the width using only CSS: markColumn.setStyle("-fx-min-width: 200; -fx-max-width: 200;"); then you will get this result: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nJKwV.png . So, when only CSS is used then column width is not set properly.

Moreover, if you try this CSS style: markColumn.setStyle("-fx-min-width: 200; -fx-max-width: 200; -fx-background-color:yellow; -fx-pref-width:200"); and after that try to resize column you will get this result:
