[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] HiDPI support issues on Windows

[Jim Graham]

Yes, most likely.  It involves making sure that the origin of the viewport is always an even multiple of pixels, then 
the copyArea will match up with the repainting.  The damage repair messages here have already pointed out how to deal 
with making sure the repaints are on integer coordinates, the only tricky part is that there is no floating point 
copyArea method (copyArea used to not allow copying with anything other than a translation, but we fixed that for Mac, 
but the fix really only works for integer scales and, while it does do something sane for non-integer scales, it doesn't 
really provide the caller full precision for controlling which pixels are copied).  To do a pixel-exact copyArea you 
would need to undo the transform, calculate the scaled pixel locations yourself, then do a non-scaled copyArea and then 
restore the transform (or do the operation on a copy of the graphics)...

When we scroll a pane we need to scroll it by a precise number of pixels and then paint the newly visible information at a precise pixel location.  Solving this aspect might require events to have higher precision data available.
