I am trying to open a dialog at my fullscreen main stage in javafx. When I create my popup, it unexpectedly hides behind my full-screen main scene until the frame is removed from full-screen mode (via ESC). If I make my main stage maximally expanded and not decorated, and not full-screen, then my pop-up window will appear at the initial stage, as expected.
Am I missing something about how fullscreen mode differs from maximized and undecorated mode? Am I using full screen mode incorrectly?
I am using java version 1.8.0_20 on CentOS 6.5 with Gnome.
Here is my SSCCE:
import javafx.application.*;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.stage.*;
public class TestApplication extends Application {
private Stage primaryStage;
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
launch(arguments);
}
public void start(Stage stage) {
this.primaryStage = stage;
primaryStage.setTitle("Main Stage");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(createRoot()));
primaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
primaryStage.show();
}
private Parent createRoot() {
Button button = new Button("Show popup");
button.setOnAction((event) -> showPopup());
return button;
}
private void showPopup() {
Stage popupStage = new Stage();
popupStage.setScene(new Scene(createPopupRoot()));
popupStage.setTitle("Popup Stage");
popupStage.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);
popupStage.initOwner(primaryStage);
popupStage.show();
}
private Parent createPopupRoot() {
return new Label("This is a popup!");
}
}
