At the same time, `gtk3_interface.c:gtk3_get_drawable_data()` gets the coordinates from `Robot` that pre-scales them (multiplying by the scale known to Java, however, not necessarily the current desktop scale). The problem with the size had been partly taken care of in [JDK-8225118](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8225118), but coordinates are still passed to `gdk_pixbuf_get_from_window()` pre-scaled.

As a positive side effect, the size of the captured area cannot be less than 1x1 (provided the correct input, of course). This solves the problem of zero size passed to  `(*fp_gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable)` when the desktop scale is 3 and we're asked to capture just one pixel. In that case, the previous formula (`width / (float) win_scale + 0.5`) would have yielded `0`.

In addition to that, instead of verifying just the color of the center of a large area, 4 more pixels close to the area's border are checked. This helps to make sure that captured area coordinates aren't way off.
