That will definitely simplify/remove some boilerplate. And I guess, it 
will also contribute to making the UI more responsive.

Well, the stage is shown as part of a JFrame. So I can only think of a
JavaFX Popup in just the right position. Which will be fun when users
start to resize or move the window... Or did you have something else in 
mind?

Legacy code. How can I force rendering?
