LGTM, thanks for the fix!

We don't really use tolerances like this in the UI code; instead the problem is almost always because some floating point operations were done, but the result wasn't (re)snapped.

In the code above I see that `x` is modified without re-snapping.  I think a `snapPositionX/Y` should be applied on `x`, something like this:

            if (node.isManaged()) {
                if (getSkinnable().getOrientation() == Orientation.VERTICAL) {
                    x += snapPositionY(snapSizeY(node.prefHeight(-1)) + getSpacing());
                } else {
                    x += snapPositionX(snapSizeX(node.prefWidth(-1)) + getSpacing());
                }
            }
