    Description

      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      macOS 10.13.5, tested with Java 1.8, 10.0.1 and 11-ea.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      I am using macOS 10.13.5 on a Macbook pro 2015. In my application I am using the Robot class to take a screenshot of a part of the screen. When I display the BufferedImage it ist blurred/unsharp and does not correspond to the original image. Screenshots taken with other (not JAVA) applications do not show this problem.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Use Robot.createScreenCapture on an Retina display under macOS, and display the buffered image. Here are three images which display the problem: https://schrell.de/java-bug

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      a one to one image
      ACTUAL -
      a blurred image which is not identical to the original screen
