ControlsFX HiddenSidesPane hides When clicked

Question

I am using ControlsFX - HiddenSidesPane where i add some link(ToggleButtons) to be clicked for navigation.

The problem i have is whenever anything is clicked, the HiddenSiddesPane hides.

The desired behavior is when anything inside it is clicked it should not close/hide, unless cursor hovers out of it.

SSCCE to demonstrate undesired behavior

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.control.TableView;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import org.controlsfx.control.HiddenSidesPane;

public class MyHiddenSidesPaneDemo  extends Application{
public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    VBox root = new VBox();
    TableView tv = new TableView();
    HiddenSidesPane hiddenSidesPane = new HiddenSidesPane();
    hiddenSidesPane.setContent(tv);
    hiddenSidesPane.setLeft(new ListView());
    root.getChildren().addAll(hiddenSidesPane);
    primaryStage.setTitle("HiddenSidesPane Example Demo");
    Scene scene = new Scene(root);
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
}
}

Try the following:

ListView listView = new ListView();
hiddenSidesPane.setLeft(listView);

listView.setOnMouseEntered(e->hiddenSidesPane.setPinnedSide(Side.LEFT)); //Keep left side pinned
listView.setOnMouseExited(e->hiddenSidesPane.setPinnedSide(null)); //unpin when mouse exits
