CSS: style leaks from unrelated stylesheet

[David Grieve]

In 8u20 and before, adding a stylesheet via 
Control.getUserAgentStylesheet will simply add the user-agent stylesheet 
to the entire scene, not just the control. This has been fixed in 8u40 
where the getUserAgentStylesheet method is now public API on Region and 
the styles added will affect only the Region and its children.

Incidentally, the code you point out from the 3rd party control 
(controlsfx) was added as a work-around for a separate issue related to 
Control.getUserAgentStylesheet(). I believe the 8u40 branch of 
controlsfx has removed this work-around and is using the 
Region#getUserAgentStylesheet method.
