The bug description in JDK-8238720 says that tests are failing repeatedly on Windows hi-dpi. So if Phil has filled a
bug with these tests, they must have failed few times. So finding link to mach5 job should be possible. Most of the
intermittent failures are not reproducible locally, so that should not really counts here. Anyway, if you think it is
all that can be done here, please go ahead with the exiting reviews or when someone else reviews.

Thanks,
