Could someone with Windows 10 and a HiDPI screen please try running ImageJ
using the JBRSDK8 runtime?
   https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/JBR/JetBrains+Runtime

I believe JetBrains has backported bug-fixes relating to HiDPI displays
with this build of the OpenJDK8.

If it works, perhaps we could update ImageJ's bundled version of Java to
use it.

Regards,
Curtis
