title: Text color on JavaFX ComboBox items change only after first selection
body: <p>I am building an input form in JavaFx from Java 8.0 using SceneBuilder 2.0 on Windows 7 in e(fx)clipse.</p>
  
  <p>I have a simple String ComboBox, and want to change the color and size of the fonts in both the list and the selected String. The css code I use changes the text on the selected item. However, the first time one drops the list, it is in black default font. The second time, the font color and size on all items have changed to the correct values. </p>
  
  <p>How do I make the font list start up in the right color and size?  </p>
  
  <p>Here is simplified code from the initialize method in my Controller class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ObservableList&lt;String&gt; types = FXCollections.observableArrayList
      ( "large", "medium", "small" );
  
  comboBox.setItems( types );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and current css:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#comboBox .list-cell
   {
      -fx-font-family: arial;
      -fx-font-size: 16px;
      -fx-text-fill: #a0522d; 
   }
  </code></pre>
