JFXPanel ignores size change of root node

coincidentally I tried that while you were typing up that email. The 
stage does not resize. Inspection in a breakpoint shows that also the 
scene.width does not change. So how would the stage know about it anyway...

This works - sometimes. If I keep clicking that button I get about 70% 
correct results and occasionally the JFXPanel did not resize as desired. 
Here's the kicker: sleeping for 10ms after setting the scene works 
reliably (on my machine and for this simple scene). 9ms is not enough:

           r.setWidth(r.getWidth() == 160 ? 120 : 160);
           Scene scene = getScene();
           setScene(null);
           setScene(scene);
           sleep(10);

Not exactly reassuring but better than before. Alternatively, the sleep 
can be moved to the EDT which also works:

           r.setWidth(r.getWidth() == 160 ? 120 : 160);
           Scene scene = getScene();
           setScene(null);
           setScene(scene);
           SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             @Override
             public void run()
             {
               sleep(10);
               invalidate();
             }
           });

Some kind of strange race condition? Obviously I'd like to avoid any 
hardcoded sleeps... Also: am I supposed to invalidate on EDT, or not? 
Seems to work without.

Scene has observable width/height properties. Not sure if those change 
but at least Scene.root.*anyboundsproperty* should do.
