As you can see the diff in the awn_Robot.cpp(Only line nos. 83-87), previously we always used to use the primaryIndex(primary monitor) scaling factor. Now the scaling factor is updated to use the intended cursor move’s position of the respective monitor. So I do not think we can handle this by changing in the Java code than in the native code as the issue is with native code of the use of the wrong scaling factor.

If I am not missing something, this is how WWindowPeer.setBounds() is 
implemented? It finds the target GConfig and then does some math. Its a 
generic algorithm for moving windows/cursors or taking a screenshot.

The Robot.createCompatibleImage()/WWindowPeer.setBounds() already use 
this code:
gc = SwingUtilities2.getGraphicsConfigurationAtPoint()
