---------------------------------------------------------------
I've now used NetBeans for about three weeks on a Windows-based HiDPI screen
(2560x1440, tried with the OS-level scaling setting set to both 150% and 200%).
This actually works quite well! There are plenty of small bugs, especially when
connecting and disconnecting an external non-HiDPI monitor, or when moving
windows between HiDPI and non-HiDPI screens, but I could usually figure out
ways to work around these.
It's essential to run the IDE on a recent JDK version, though. I used OpenJDK
10.0.0.1+9. I also tried to use Java 8; in the latter case NetBeans became much
less usable, with a mix of tiny and regular-sized controls, controls that don't
fit in their dialog box, and such.
I also observed that even even the latest version of Microsoft Office, which we
should expect to be the "gold standard" of Windows applications, also has a few
similar HiDPI-related bugs.
