Text node not showing first line?

Question

I'm trying to figure out some unexpected behavior with the layout of Text. If I create an example program based on the API documentation
http://java.sun.com/javafx/1.2/docs/api/javafx.scene.text/javafx.scene.text.Text.html
Like so:
Stage
    title: "Application title"
    width: 500
    height: 500
    scene: Scene
        content: [ Text {font: Font { size: 20 } content: "First row\nSecond row" }  ]
}The resulting screen only shows "Second row", the first line is moved out of the screen above. I need to set y to 20 to show the first line.
Is that normal?

Answer 1

Right, Text nodes have an textOrigin, which is default set to the base line. That means that y=0 is just below the letters.
But the behavior is unexpected when simply adding a Text node and nothing is visible.
