JDK-8013116 - Robot moves mouse to point which differs from set in mouseMove on Unity shell
Description
Due to coordinate calculation changes for multiscreen configuration, the following text should be used with the constructor:
     * Creates a Robot for the given screen device. Coordinates passed
     * to Robot method calls like mouseMove, getPixelColor and
     * createScreenCapture will be interpreted as being in the same coordinate
     * system as the specified screen. Note that depending on the platform
     * configuration, multiple screens may either:
     * <ul>
     * <li>share the same coordinate system to form a combined virtual screen</li>
     * <li>use different coordinate systems to act as independent screens</li>
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * If screen devices are reconfigured such that the coordinate system is
     * affected, the behavior of existing Robot objects is undefined.
