Nodes in VBox have the same values from localToScene.

Question

var b1=Button {text: "Button1"}
var b2=Button {text: "Button2"}
var aVBox = VBox {content: [b1,b2]}
Stage {
    scene: Scene
        width: 100
        height: 100
        content:[aVBox]
println("{b1.localToScene(b1.boundsInLocal)}");
println("{b2.localToScene(b2.boundsInLocal)}");I expect those two buttons adjacent to each other should have different bounds in the scene. But they are almost identical. Is that a known problem?
Basically, I want to get the coordinates of nodes in a VBox in the scene.

Answer 1

Actually, at the time you print out the values, the layout isn't started (or finished) yet.
You can see the difference with a little change:
var b1: Button = Button {text: "Button1"}
var b2: Button = Button {text: "Button2",
action: function(): Void
println("{b1.localToScene(b1.boundsInLocal)}");
println("{b2.localToScene(b2.boundsInLocal)}");
var aVBox = VBox {content: [b1,b2]}
Stage {
    scene: Scene
        width: 100
        height: 100
        content:[aVBox]
println("{b1.localToScene(b1.boundsInLocal)}");
println("{b2.localToScene(b2.boundsInLocal)}");When I click on the 2nd button, I see different values of Y.
