In any case, the test case added to the [issue](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8346281) runs fine now when the app runs on a given screen and the user changes its resolution. It has also been tested that it doesn't have any side effect on macOS.

I'd like to review and test this, both in isolation and in connection with #1963
