Jason Moore commented on FLEX-34653:
------------------------------------

Alternative to the work around supplied by Lee still using the applicationdDPI 
and runtimeDPI ( with or without a custom runtimeDPI provider ... ).

{code}
                        // Changes the initial size of the application so it 
appears physically the corect size according to the device DPI.            
                        private function applicationCompleteHandler():void
                        {
                                this.width /= this.applicationDPI / 
this.runtimeDPI;
                                this.height /= this.applicationDPI / 
this.runtimeDPI;
                        }
                        
                        // Sets the application content width and hieght to the 
application's system managers calculated screen size.
                        protected function resizeHandler(event:ResizeEvent):void
                        {
                                if (this.systemManager)
                                        if (this.systemManager.screen)
                                        {
                                                this.contentGroup.width = 
this.systemManager.screen.width;
                                                this.contentGroup.height = 
this.systemManager.screen.height;            
                                        }                               
                        }
{code}

Changes the application width and height to make the application the correct 
size, lets the internal scaling do its thing but uses the resulting application 
system managers calculated screen size and applies it to the application 
content group to correct its dimensions.

Thanks to Lee for the support.

> The issue occurs when using automatic scaling and setting the application DPI 
> and overriding the runtimeDPIProvider to set the runtimeDPI where it is 
> incorrectly returned from the OS ( On desktop devices for instance ).
> If the two values match ie 1:1 scaling, there is no issue. But if they differ 
> then the application content is scalled correctly , but the stage size is 
> also scaled, incorrect. This leads to the application being clipped when 
> scaling up and excess space when scaling down.. See code excepts to 
> recreate...
