The XToolkit.getDefaultScreenWidth()/getDefaultScreenHeight() methods
are supposed to return the width/height in the user space.
Could you rename them and the screenWidth/screenHeight variables to
emphasize the fact that now they work with values in the device space?
Thanks,
Alexandr.

To me it also looks strange and causes an unpredictable behavior when the
main/default screen is on the right. But I guess it is too late to fix in jdk9,
I’ll file a bug for jdk10 to investigate it.
Hello Sergey,
Main screen on Windows and Mac OS always has (0,0) coordinates. On Linux main
screen may be shifted, e.g. if it is located to the right of secondary one
(800,0).
I think that it is feasible to unify Linux main screen behavior with Mac OS and
Windowsa and make it always located at (0,0).
Thanks,
Alexander.

Hello,
Please review the fix for jdk9.
Toolkit.getSreenSize() returns the size which is different from the size of the
main screen(as it is specified).
Since jdk5 on linux it is return the size of the virtual screen(which includes
all displays) in pixels. It was discussed in JDK-XXXXXXX, but since support of
HiDPI was introduced it is return something different: «the size of the virtual
screen in pixels divide by the scale factor of the main screen». So right now
the result of this method does not match to the virtual screen size in the
users space, it also does not match the size of the virtual screen in pixels,
and also does not match to the size of the main screen.
This is a request to unify behavior of such methods between linux/windows/macOS
in multi-screen environment.
