In fact, I just googled the issue, and got a page full of links to Windows apps that promise to "bring this mac feature to Windows".
In the meantime I've found part of a solution on my MacBook Air.
It has something to do with the fullscreen mode.
In Yosemite, when going to fullscreen, the menu bar disappears. In this mode I cannot switch to another Window. When only briefly switching from fullscreen to Window mode, my "problem" remains. If I switch to another app and then back, suddenly it's working.
No real solution, but at least an angle where to start at.
