JavaFX does not use exclusive full-screen mode. It simulates full screen
by using an undecorated window that is exactly the size of the screen.
This means that pop-ups, such as those used by ComboBox and content
menus, will continue to work (they use separate windows).

What do you mean by "render the desktop" ?
-- Kevin
Typically when a game(or potentially any 3d application) is
fullscreen, that game(or 3d application) has exclusive control and
desktop elements(the desktop environment and the windows within) are
no longer rendered. As a result, frame rate is increased, latency is
reduced, and stuttering/jittering are reduced or non existent.
However, it's possible to "fake" fullscreen by using borderless
windowed mode which does not provide the performance benefits of
fullscreen while being 'fullscreen".
Basically what I'm asking is: Does JavaFX just disable window
decorations(title bar/resize borders) and overlays the application
over the OS's desktop or is it *truly* fullscreen?

Bug review ID: 9057302.
TavleView's setMouseTransparent no longer makes mouse events(like
clicking) transparent for that TableView when set to true in JavaFX
11. In Oracle 9 and 10 it did, however. I vaguely remember compiling
OpenJDK 10 with JavaFX integrated and had the same issue even though
Oracle 10 did not have the bug.
I personally use this to create an On Screen Display for displaying
some GPU information while playing games in Linux(Yes, I know it's
incredibly bad to do that since the desktop is still being
rendered). Because of this bug, in-game menus cannot be clicked if
they are in the top left corner(where the window is) as the mouse
transparent method is no longer working.
