You can also consume unwanted events on blank space.

in call() of cell factory add:

cell.setOnMousePressed((MouseEvent event) -> {
    if (cell.isEmpty()) {
       event.consume();
    }
});

This will disable click & dragStart too.

Whole cellFactory example from my project:

public static Callback, ListCell> getCellFactory() {
    return new Callback, ListCell>() {

        @Override
        public ListCell call(ListView param) {
            ListCell cell = new ListCell() {

                @Override
                protected void updateItem(BlockFactory item, boolean empty) {
                    super.updateItem(item, empty);
                    if (item != null) {
                        ImageView img = new ImageView(item.img);
                        Label label = new Label(item.desc);
                        HBox bar = new HBox(img, label);
                        bar.setSpacing(15);
                        bar.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER_LEFT);
                        setGraphic(bar);
                    }
                }
            };
            cell.setOnMousePressed((MouseEvent event) -> {
                if (cell.isEmpty()) {
                    event.consume();
                }
            });
            return cell;
        }
    };
}
