Windows 7 Vertical Maximize is Broken

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a Blacken application
2. resize the window so that it is wide and short (to highlight issue)
3. Move the window so that the top of the window is near the top of the screen
4. Resize the window Up until we hit the Windows Maximize Vertically trigger 
(the window outline will flash the full windows height)
5. Notice that the window is larger, but the contents are the same
6. The application continues to function as if it hasn't been vertically 
maximized at all

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect maximizing vertically to work.

This is a bug with some releases of Java 7. (Known to exist at least in 
1.7.0_05 aka "Java 7u5".) 

The exact same steps reproduce the problem in NetBeans.

Okay, 7u7 has something allowing NetBeans to work-around the issue. (I upgraded 
Java 7 from u5 to u7 and the problem in NetBeans clears itself.)

The problem is that it is still present in Blacken.

Correction, the problem is still present in NetBeans. They appear to have a 
process in place to work-around the issue (possibly indicating a long-standing 
issue) but if I try it repeatedly it still happens.

Okay. I have a work-around that fixes the issue on mouseEnter.
