JavaFX / TornadoFX cause Keystroke Receiving prompt on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina)

Problem description

I have the a problem with JavaFX and TornadoFX. When I start my application on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina), the following error message appears:

Keystroke Receiving

"yourapplication" would like to receive keystrokes from any application.

Grant access to this application in Security & Privacy preferences, located in System Preferences.

I see this error message with any JavaFX and TornadoFX application I create. No matter how simple it is.

Is there some way to make this message disappear? I do not want to release the software when it shows this prompt.

Environment

  • TornadoFX 1.7.18
  • Java 8 / JavaFX8
  • Catalina Beta 9 (19A573a)

I also tried other versions like JavaFX13 and TornadoFX 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT, but I saw the same prompt.

Maybe related to this:
