    Description

      Summary

      Node's managed property should be CSS styleable

      Problem

      A Node can be hidden via CSS by setting "visibility: hidden". However, an invisible Node still occupies space in its Parent. The only way to manage its layout is by setting its width and height to zero using "-fx-pref-width" and "-fx-pref-height" respectively.

      Solution

      Make managed property of Node class CSS styleable via -fx-managed CSS Property. To implement this managedProperty in Node.java should become a styleable property.

      Specification

      Update the Node properties in cssref.html:
