Hi, Alex.
Looks like after the fix the fields in sysX/Y and sysW/sysH will have incompatible values, the location will use the one screen to scale and the size will use another, Is it possible to store the location+size based on same screen?

>  Suppose the system has two displays with different DPI. A user can create a window on the first screen
>  and set the windows bounds from the second screen.
>  The windows scales the given bounds from the user space (x, y, w, h) to the device space (s1 * x, s1 * y, s1 * w, s1 * h),
>  preserves the location in the device space and updates the windows size so it has the same size in the screen 2 user space.
>  (s1 * x, s1 * y, s1 * w, s1 * h) -> (s1 * x, s1 * y, [s1 * w] * s2 / s1, [s1 * h] * s2 / s1) = (s1 * x, s1 * y, s2 * w, s2 * h)
>  which is (s1 * x / s2, s1 * y / s2, w, h) in screen 2 user space.
>  This is necessary for the windows dragging from one display to another.
> 
>  The fix updates the window size during the size setting if it detects that the window is located on a different screen with different DPI
>  so the the second screen scale factor is properly taken into account.
> 
>  The fix also updates the Robot.createCompatibleImage() method to use the scale from the screen the the screenshot is taken.
