Zoom selection rectangle in JavaFX Chart not showing, though Zoom working
I have written a sample program that implements Zooming function on a JavaFX Chart, I found the Zoom class from the GitHub project and am just reusing it. My challenge is that when I drag the mouse to select some region to Zoom, the selected area rectangle doesn't show in Windows 7, Linux, Mac OS X, but it works fine in Windows 10. What am I missing, how can I make the selectedRectangle to show so the user can know what area they are zooming into?
Below are all the files that are needed to compile and run this program:

Your order is wrong. You have
final StackPane chartContainer = new StackPane();
Zoom zoom = new Zoom(lineChart, chartContainer);
chartContainer.getChildren().add(lineChart);
Which means you first create the container, then add the zoom rectangle, then add the chart. So the zoom rectangle is on the back of the chart.
You need to have it this way:
final StackPane chartContainer = new StackPane();
chartContainer.getChildren().add(lineChart);
Zoom zoom = new Zoom(lineChart, chartContainer);
