Checkmark in JCheckBoxMenuItem not HiDPI/Retina capable

[Eirik Bakke]

Huh, in Hendrik's case it seems he gets an even-larger checkmark even in retina mode (judging from the font size in Hendrik's screenshot). In my case I was _not_ running in retina mode.

It does not depend on an external monitor, as I don't one and have observed this, too (screenshot of a menu attached).
I've seen this in a menu, that is not in the system menu bar, but in the app window itself.
This happened when running an ancient version of HPJmeter. Just double-clicked on the jar, and I was able to observe the issue.

ps ax | grep java

mankell:~ hendrik$ /Library/Internet\ Plug-ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-ea-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b05, mixed mode)

Hope this helps to nail it down.
