A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
CSS attributes including at least background-color, border-color and border-width are not applied to a child node if its parent is removed from the scene and then re-added.

When the node is added again then it appears without any of the styles set via "inline" styles i.e. Node.setStyle(). This is also the case when using style-classes and an external stylesheet. The test case attached uses "inline" styles to keep it minimal. 



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Run the test case
2) Click on the stage
3) Click on the stage
4) Click on the stage


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
1) Run the test case
2) Click on the stage  <== expect overlay in red with black border, 5px
3) Click on the stage  <== expect overlay to be hidden
4) Click on the stage  <== expect overlay in red with black border, 5px, i.e. same as step 2

ACTUAL -
1) Run the test case
2) Click on the stage  <== expect overlay in red with black border, 5px
3) Click on the stage  <== expect overlay to be hidden
4) Click on the stage  <== overlay shown without background or border

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Add content to overlay AFTER it has been added to topLevel
