    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When a custom cell factory used in a TableView to show wrapped text, the scrollTo() function will not show last row. The issue should be reproduceable with attached sample code below.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Run attached source code. Added enough line of text to the table until vertical scroll bar shows. Then add long text lines so they will be wrapped in the table.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Show full line of last added text.
      ACTUAL -
      Last line will not show if there are wrapped text in the view of the TableView.

       * Issue with programmatic scroll in TableView with a custom cell factory.
       *
       *
       * This program emulates a chat application when everything typed in the bottom
       * text box is added to the end of a TableView above and scroll to show what is
       * just added by calling scrollTo().
       *
       * The "Text" column of TableView uses a custom cell factory of a Text control
       * to wrap text to accommodate long text value.
       *
       * It works well until a long text is added that cause text to wrap in the table,
       * then the text added will not be fully shown. It gets worse when there are multiple
       * wrapped texts in the view of the TableView. Calling refresh() will not resolve
       * the issue. It will be resolved either by manually scroll up and down, or until
       * all wrapped text scrolled out of the view of the TableView.
       *

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Manually scroll up first and then down will show the last line.
