Cursor does not change on disabled controls

Question

How can I set another cursor on disabled nodes?
My use case:
I want to disable a node, while a Task is running and simultaneously change the cursor to the wait cursor.
But it has no effect, if the node is disabled.
Any solutions?
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class TestApp3 extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        launch();
    public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        VBox root = new VBox();
        Button button = new Button("Test Button");
        root.getChildren().add(button);
        root.setDisable(true);
        root.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
}

can I set another cursor on disabled nodes?apparently not - log a jira with your test case.
Any solutions?A couple of workarounds.
Set the cursor on the parent of the disabled region (wrapping the disabled region in a pane for this specific purposes if needed).
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class DisabledControlCursor extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
  @Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(new Button("Test Button"));
    Pane wrapper = new Pane();
    wrapper.getChildren().add(root);
    root.setDisable(true);
    wrapper.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
    Scene scene = new Scene(wrapper);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}Set the cursor on the entire scene containing the disabled region.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Cursor;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class DisabledControlCursor extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
  @Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(new Button("Test Button"));
    Scene scene = new Scene(root);
    root.setDisable(true);
    scene.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}
