It should re-add the property at a later run. Usually, it is checked if the property is already included or not. A property is usually non-settable when it is bound (we will get an exception if we try). So in this case, the style is not interesting for us, as it is anyway bound and therefore basically 'forced' to not being overwritable for now. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/2343#discussion_r4252097695
