[Dialog] Alert dialogs do not resize correctly and cut message

On Linux with the Oracle JDK 8u40, Alerts do not correctly resize and long messages will be cut at the end. On Windows, the height of the Alert will be increased such that the message can be displayed correctly.

Code example:
----------------
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.control.Alert;
import javafx.scene.control.Alert.AlertType;
import javafx.stage.Stage;


public class TestAlert extends Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        Alert a = new Alert(AlertType.INFORMATION);
        a.setTitle("My Title");
        a.setHeaderText("My Header Text");
        a.setResizable(true);
        String version = System.getProperty("java.version");
        String content = String.format("Java: %s.\nThis is a long text.

        a.setContentText(content);
        a.showAndWait();
    }
}
