Your label does appear on the scene but it has been shrinked to the extent that only the text overflow characters are rendered - "..."

To ensure that the label is always rendered with a fixed width that will fit all the text you can force the minumum and maximum widths to be the same as the preferred width:

  myLabel.setMinWidth(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);
  myLabel.setMaxWidth(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);

If you want to retain the dynamic sizing you can always use Scenic View (http://fxexperience.com/scenic-view/) to analyse your scene graph and determine which nodes or containers take up all the space or have size limits
