Blurry rendering of SwingNode with HiDPI scaling in JavaFX

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      https://stackoverflow.com/q/63444771/59087

      The text rendering on Windows is blurry. When running in a JFrame, not wrapped by a SwingNode, but still part of the same application shown in the video, the quality of the text is flawless. The screen capture shows the application's main window (bottom), which includes the SwingNode along with the aforementioned JFrame (top). You may have to zoom into the straight edge of the letters to see the reason for the blur. It looks to be an half-pixel offset issue, which is strange because there is no blur in other scenarios.

      See the StackOverflow question for more details and screen captures that illustrate the problem, plus additional sample code from other people.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Create a new project with a dependency on FlyingSaucer (there may be simpler ways to reproduce the issue).
      2. Run the executable test case.
      3. Adjust the scrollbars until the text appears.
      4. Use a third-party tool to zoom into the letters (e.g., Greenshot).


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The text appears crisp.
      ACTUAL -
      The text appears blurry.

            // Here be dragons? Using a StackPane, instead of a SplitPane, works.

            //StackPane root = new StackPane();
            //root.getChildren().add( mSwingNode );
