Custom ComboBox doesn't select with mouse? - javafx-8

Question

I couldn't find anything on this - so I wanted to post a simple question. I want to create a custom ComboBox that displays a combination of the fields in when extended. The code below correctly displays my list, and reacts to keyboard arrows, but when I select the arrow from the dropdown, the list has no reaction to the mouse click for selection.
[EDIT]Also - I can't seem to get type ahead working on this either.
I am not sure what I am missing.
public class JavaFXApplication7 extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
ComboBox<Person> cb = new ComboBox();
cb.setCellFactory(column -> new ListCell<Person>() {
private HBox graphic = new HBox();
private Label label1 = new Label() ;
private Label label2 = new Label(" || ");
private Label label3 = new Label();
{
graphic.getChildren().addAll(label1, label2, label3);
}
#Override
public void updateItem(Person person, boolean empty) {
if (person == null || empty) {
setGraphic(null);
} else {
label1.setText(person.firstName.get());
label3.setText(person.email.get());
setGraphic(graphic);
}
}
});
ObservableList<Person> items = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
Person p = new Person();
p.email.set("foo#bar.com");
p.firstName.set("Tony");
p.lastName.set("Stark");
p.phone.set("[phone]");
items.add(p);
Person p2 = new Person();
p2.email.set("foo#bar.com");
p2.firstName.set("Bruce");
p2.lastName.set("Wayne");
p2.phone.set("[phone]");
items.add(p2);
cb.setItems(items);
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(cb);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
/**
* #param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
public class Person {
StringProperty firstName = new SimpleStringProperty();
StringProperty lastName = new SimpleStringProperty();
StringProperty phone = new SimpleStringProperty();
StringProperty email = new SimpleStringProperty();
#Override
public String toString () {
return firstName.get() + " " + lastName.get();
}
}
}

You're missing
super.updateItem(person, empty);
in the updateItem method.
