I think the problem may be the outer BoxPane, the one that is a direct child of
the TablePane.Row.
Rather than using a vertical BoxPane here, I'd suggest creating multiple table
rows, one for each component you currently have in the box pane. Give the first
three the default height ("-1") and the last one (which contains the split
pane) a height of "1*". That will allow the split pane to fill the remaining
vertical space.
