When using Robot#createScreenCapture(...) on a HiDpi system the wrong area is captured. The issue occurs only if:
- the application runs on a HiDpi system
- the application is started with Webstart
- the system property 'sun.java2d.dpiaware' is set to 'false'
A simple test can be found below - you can also give it a try by executing http://www.jyloo.com/downloads/public/test/robotScreenTest.jnlp. When pressing the ScreenCaptureNow button a screen capture of the yellow rectangle is made and displayed in a new window. On a HiDpi system the captured area is wrong.
