      2 external Dell 22 inches monitors hooked via DisplayPort to DVI cables

      I hope it's not a duplicate, I looked and couldn't find anything.

      On a MacBook Pro with Retina screen with 2 external monitors (see details in environment field).

      Start JavaFX app. It appears on the on-board screen which is in HighDPI mode.

      Everything is too big (I'd say double the size it should be) and blurred. It looks like it was rendered in HiDPI and then scaled up once more.

      When you move the window to another (non high DPI) screen, it all scales back to normal and look good. It stays good even if you move back the window to the Retina screen after that.

      If you only move the window inside the Retina screen it stays bad.

      I could reproduce the problem with JavaFX app downloaded and ran from JAR (ScenicView) and when building and starting from IntelliJ.
