No, it doesn’t work correctly in 4.7.2, the latest stable version:
All pixel values, such as paddings, borders, etc., are designed for
96dpi displays and are not scaled up. E.g., for a 2 px window border,
you need 5 px on a retina display to achieve the same physical width.

I think the effect is very very easy to spot when comparing 4.7.2 with a
build from the “next” branch. Once you restart into the new version,
you’ll see how it just feels right again :).
