ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 13+33
Windows 10 with HiDPI scaling active (e.g. 150% or 200%)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
On Windows 10, on a monitor with HiDPI scaling active, DragSourceEvent.getLocation() will consistently return the wrong value.

=== Debugging notes: ===

Both MouseInfo and DragSourceEvent get their coordinates from a call to the "GetCursorPos" Windows API function. The latter returns device coordinates rather than logical coordinates for DPI-aware applications (including java.exe and the netbeans launcher since #883 ).

But in the implementation of MouseInfo.getPointerInfo(), extra code was added to convert the device coordinates to logical coordinates, as part of the original JDK patch which introduced HiDPI support on Windows. See Java_sun_awt_windows_WMouseInfoPeer_fillPointWithCoords in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blame/6bab0f539fba8fb441697846347597b4a0ade428/src/java.desktop/windows/native/libawt/windows/MouseInfo.cpp . This was forgotten in the code that initializes the coordinates for DragSourceEvent (see GetCursorPos call for call_dSCenter/call_dSCmotion in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/1440dc39400f89b7df8af2249f30eaf5092c1574/src/java.desktop/windows/native/libawt/windows/awt_DnDDS.cpp ).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
On Windows 10, configure the display with a single monitor at 150% DPI scaling. Run the attached executable test case. Drag the selected text from the JTextField to the JLabel in the middle of the JFrame. While dragging, an "X" should be painted underneath the mouse cursor--but due to the bug, the X ends up in the wrong spot.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
While dragging, an "X" should be painted underneath the mouse cursor.
ACTUAL -
The X ends up in the wrong spot. (Because DragSourceEvent.getLocation() ends up returning device coordinates instead of logical coordinates.)

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
In the NetBeans IDE, a workaround was to use MouseInfo.getPointerInfo() instead of DragSourceEvent.getLocation(). See https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1804 .
