Dialog contentText does not wrap correctly always

[Daniel Peintner]

Hello,

Sorry for bothering you with my first email providing an example that used
a helper class for showing the dialog.
I looked further and please find below or in [1] a Short, Self Contained,
Correct (Compilable), Example.

The issue appears for cases when setting "glass.win.uiScale" to "1.5".

The need for a second line for the alert contentText seems to fail and
ellipses appear.
Setting dialog.getDialogPane().setExpanded(true); makes the line appear but
the dialog buttons move out of scene.

On [1] you can also see some screenshots that illustrate the issue.

Do you consider this as a bug? Does it make sense to open a bug report (I
don't have the privileges to do so)?
I hope I can help to make JavaFX even better.

Note: I am using Windows 10, JavaFX version 16.

Thanks again,

-- Daniel

        BorderPane bp = new BorderPane();

        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(bp, 300, 250));
        primaryStage.show();
    }
