Description

Arduino CC 1.8.3

I have 2 monitors and when I launch Arduino CC and move one to my second monitor the CC editor becomes all fuzzy and cannot see anything. Works fine on my Primary monitor.

Primary monitor is 1920x1200
Second monitor is 1680x1050

I was able to to use dual monitors with single or multiple instance of CC with 1.8.1 version.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Arduino IDE 1.8.3 behavior with two monitors, moving the editor from the primary to the secondary display, and compare it with the reported 1.8.1 behavior. Investigate the desktop rendering path implicated by the fuzzy editor; done means the editor remains readable when moved to the second monitor.
