    • windows_7

      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.8.0_60-ea"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-ea-b21)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b21, mixed mode)


      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      ver 6.1 - Windows 7 Professional, Version 6.1 (Build 7601, Service Pack 1)


      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      If the Windows DPI scaling is set to 125% or higher, any controls/buttons/icons are also displayed 125% higher. The effect on the icons is to make them very "fuzzy". Need the ability to disable the DPI scaling and handle the icon size in a DPI aware application. This feature did not exist on the previous version 8u45 which is why I am signalling it as a bug and not as a feature request.

      REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u45

      ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
      java version "1.8.0_60-ea"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-ea-b21)
      Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b21, mixed mode)


      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      On Windows use Control Panel > Display to set the DPI scaling to 125% then use any JavaFX program which displays icons or icons in controls. The icons will be displayed fuzzy at 125% zoom.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      I was not expecting to see DPI scaling, this does not exist in JDK 8u45
      ACTUAL -
      Fuzzy icons

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      If you need source code I will supply it, but then I would also have to supply the icon files.
      ---------- END SOURCE ----------

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Only workaround is to go back to 8u45
