(I see the "Setting Up" so the init of the view is executed). i tried with background and application thread, and also with no parameter for the FXEvent.

Problem was due to the use of View() instead of find<View>() . I have no idea why it change anything in that case, but it works now.

You must never instantiate UICompoenents manually. They need to be injected or found, or else they will not receive all life cycle callbacks.

make sense now. regarding injection, it is only useful if I need to refer to the view itself ?

Yeah, normally you'd just do add<MyView>() where you want to add it to the existing UI, or find<MyView>().openModal() if you need to open it in a new window.
