[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

If you highlight only a portion of JavaFX source code (vice the entire file)
and select Source -> Format it assumes that the code that you have selected is
the only code in the file and aligns it all the way against the left margin.

For example, if you had this code:
package example;

public class Foo extends Bar {

    public override function show(): Void {
        var stage = Stage {
                    title: "Blah"
                    scene: ResizableScene {
                        width: 500
                        height: 500
                        fill: Color.PINK
                        content: MigLayout {
                            constraints: "fill"
                            content: [
                                    Group {
                                            content: [
                                Rectangle {
                                    width: 400
                                    height: 400
                                    fill: Color.BLACK
                                    layoutInfo: MigNodeLayoutInfo {
                                        constraints: "center"
                                    }
                                }]},
                                
                                Button {
                                    text: "Go"
                                    layoutInfo: MigNodeLayoutInfo {
                                        constraints: "south"
                                    }
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                }
    }

}

And you selected only the portion that is not indented correctly (the entire
Group...up to and including the close curly brace and comma. And then you
selected Source -> Format then you end up with the selection that you
highlighted against the left margin like this:

package example;

public class Foo extends Bar {

    public override function show(): Void {
        var stage = Stage {
                    title: "Blah"
                    scene: ResizableScene {
                        width: 500
                        height: 500
                        fill: Color.PINK
                        content: MigLayout {
                            constraints: "fill"
                            content: [
    Group {
        content: [
            Rectangle {
                width: 400
                height: 400
                fill: Color.BLACK
                layoutInfo: MigNodeLayoutInfo {
                    constraints: "center"
                }
            }] },
                                
                                Button {
                                    text: "Go"
                                    layoutInfo: MigNodeLayoutInfo {
                                        constraints: "south"
                                    }
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                }
    }

}


The format command should take into account the nested location of surrounding
code even if that code is not selected for formatting. This is the behavior of
the Java equivalent of the Source -> Format command.
