Maximized stages do not resize when needed on Windows

On Windows, you can move a window (even if maximized) to another screen 
with Win+Shift+Arrow key. When doing this, a JavaFX stage does not 
resize itself to the new screen if the other screen has a different 
size. You get stuck with an application where the titlebar looks like it 
is in fullscreen, but it does not fill the screen.

I would suspect there is some kind of rule built into some JavaFX part 
that internally prevents resizing maximized windows? Because I have only 
seen this happen with JavaFX windows so far.

I can open a ticket for this, but I would have no idea how to fix this 
issue.
