Javafx setMaximized on OSX - eclipse

Question

I'm having trouble with the setMaximized() method on OSX,
When I invoke it:
Scene scene = new Scene(debug);
stage.setOnCloseRequest(event -> System.exit(0));
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.setMaximized(true);
stage.show();
The app window vanishes.
For clarification I am trying to run the app from Eclipse on OSX 10.9.5.
The same logic seems to work fine on Windows.
Are there any known issues that could cause this? I don't really want to go into writing platform specific implementations of my window.
EDIT: Here is the entire class:
public class Main extends Application {
/** Pane that is used for outputting debug information about touch interactions and user interface elements. */
private DebugParent debug;
private Control customPane;
private Stage stage;
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Font.loadFont(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/ui/fonts/titillium.otf"), 20);
customPane = FXMLLoader.load(this.getClass().getResource("/ui/Main.fxml"), null, new CustomBuilderFactory());
customPane.dragProcessingModeProperty().set(EventProcessingMode.HANDLER);
// Init Debug
debug = new DebugParent(customPane);
debug.registerCustomPane(customPane);
debug.setOverlayVisible(false);
// Init menu
ContextMenu menu = new MainMenu(catalog, customPane);
customPane.setContextMenu(menu);
// Init scene
Scene scene = new Scene(debug);
this.stage = stage;
this.stage.setOnCloseRequest(event -> System.exit(0));
this.stage.setScene(scene);
this.stage.setMaximized(true);
this.stage.show();
this.stage.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, this::handleKey);
// Invalidate
customPane.invalidate();
customPane.requestFocus();
}
private void handleKey(KeyEvent keyEvent) {
switch (keyEvent.getCode()) {
case F10: stage.setMaximized(!stage.isMaximized()); break;
case F11: stage.setFullScreen(!stage.isFullScreen()); break;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Notably I've found that attempting to enter actual fullscreen mode from here crashes Java altogether.

By the looks of it JavaFX is not playing nice with OSX animations.

Answer 1

I don't know why setMaximized() didn't work on OS X but
here are some work around that work's:
you can try to get VisualBounds width and height and use that.
Scene scene = stage.getScene();
Screen primaryScreen = Screen.getPrimary();
Rectangle2D visualBounds = primaryScreen.getVisualBounds();
double width = visualBounds.getWidth();
double height = visualBounds.getHeight();
scene = new Scene(root, width, height);
