How to disable clipping of bloom effect - javafx-2

Question

The bloom effect in JavaFX 2 suffers from clipping which cuts parts of the effect itself. Is there a way to either avoid this clipping or to extend the region which will be preserved?
Example FXML (Just open with Scene Builder) which demonstrates the clipped bloom effect:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.effect.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.shape.*?>
<StackPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">
<children>
<Rectangle fill="#808080" height="90.0" width="90.0" />
<Circle fill="WHITE" radius="35">
<effect><Bloom /></effect>
</Circle>
</children>
</StackPane>

Answer 1

It would seem that this is a bug as an effect like dropshadow does not suffer the same clipping. I encourage you to file the bug against the runtime project at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com.
A workaround is to set a transparent stroke on the circle.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.effect.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.shape.*?>
<StackPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">
<children>
<Rectangle fill="GREY" height="90.0" width="90.0" />
<Circle fill="WHITE" radius="35.0" stroke="TRANSPARENT" strokeType="OUTSIDE" strokeWidth="10.0">
<effect>
<Bloom />
</effect>
</Circle>
</children>
</StackPane>
