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.
