Description

If using Netlogo on Windows with a high-DPI monitor and system UI scaling set to something other than 1, when opening the Vid extension the NetLogo UI will reset to a scale of 1 (which is really weird). When dragging the NetLogo window over to another monitor with a different scale (still not 1), it looks normal.

As far as I could tell, this was caused by something in OpenImaj, but I did not track it to its source. We could try to determine when/how it's happening with some debugging and tracing or just drop OpenImaj and hopefully have this resolved as well.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows with a high-DPI monitor and non-1 system scaling, then open the Vid extension and move NetLogo between monitors. Investigate the OpenImaj path mentioned in the issue, or evaluate dropping OpenImaj as discussed in Vid-Extension issue 32; done means the UI no longer resets to scale 1.
