Drag n Drop target area is wrong on high DPI systems

    • x86_64
    • linux

        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The area of a drop target that actually responds to events is calculated incorrectly on high DPI linux systems. The position of the frame relative to the overall space available on the monitor also seems to have something to do with it.

        The attached example should print to the console when something is dragged over the panel bordered in red. It does not respond correctly on high DPI systems unless disable high DPI scaling completely with -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false

        STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
        Drag any file into the red outline.

        EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
        EXPECTED -
        Drop events are printed to the console anywhere in the red outline.
        ACTUAL -
        Only some areas of the frame result in drop events being printed, depending where the frame is located on your monitor.
