Description
We require the render target to be OPAQUE in order to support LCD text.
This means StageStyle.TRANSPARENT used for shaped windows disables LCD text.
This is most noticeable in pop-up menus.
We should investigate to find and evaluate possible solutions.

Priority should be higher, imho. Please, look closely to SceneBuilder. All menus look totally ugly.
