The problem lies here:

    private static void scanLabeledControls(Parent parent, ArrayListMultimap<PreferencesTab, Labeled> prefsTabLabelMap, PreferencesTab preferencesTab) {
        for (Node child : parent.getChildrenUnmodifiable()) {
            if (!(child instanceof Labeled)) {
                scanLabeledControls((Parent) child, prefsTabLabelMap, preferencesTab);
            } else {
                Labeled labeled = (Labeled) child;
                if (!labeled.getText().isEmpty()) {
                    prefsTabLabelMap.put(preferencesTab, labeled);
                }
            }
        }
    }

In this code there are two branches for a child:

  1. If a child is Labeled: add it to prefsTabLabelMap.
  2. If it's not, then TREAT IT AS A PARENT, and look into other children.

So, if you have only Labeled and Parent controls in your preferences tab, then it's all good.

But, in my case I've added Text control. (Don't ask me why, maybe I really shouldn't do it).

What change I propose: make 3 branches:

  1. If the child is Labeled: add it to prefsTabLabelMap.
  2. If it's a Parent: look into it's children.
  3. Otherwise, ignore

I've made the changes and now the error disappeared.

I'm not really sure how to test this properly, but I'll make the PR
