This could be platform specific. I don't seem to reproduce this on Ubuntu 22.04 (with the default zulu8.60.0.21-ca-fx-jdk8.0.322 JDK). At this point would be useful to know which platforms are affected.

EDIT: I can indeed reproduce this.

I've tried it on Windows 10 and on a Mac (think it was Big Sur).

Hi guys,
Any news on this topic? I see the jumping-to-the-middle behavior on all Windows 10 machines.
It only happens with long dialogs, maybe that's why @tferr couldn't reproduce it?
Sorry to nag, but it's really quite annoying.

Thanks!
Bram

I can reproduce this indeed. Not sure why I was not able to reproduce it before. I executed the snippet from the forum post and the jump occurs when I click on a checkbox or a JSpinner. The window does not be particularly tall, just it needs to be resized so that the vertical scrollbar appears.

Unbearable indeed. Makes it impossible to use the prompt. Unfortunately, I don't know really where to look to debug this.
