JDK-8314895 - macOS: selection irregularities in TextArea
Description
A combination of setFont() with rendering scale other than 100% breaks selected text color in TextArea.  (No issue if setFont() is not called).

To reproduce, run the attached test case, moving the window between two monitors, one set at 100% rendering scale and the other at some other scale.

This bug is present in jfx19 and jfx20, on macOS and windows 11.

edit 2023/08/30: looks like the reason for the failure is rendered character size exceeding 80 pixels (80 is ok, 81 is not).  When rendering scale is 200% (retina) the threshold font size is 40 (works, 41 does not).
Comments
I changed the title of the bug to better indicate the problem. As I recall, we go through a different path when the font point size exceeds a certain size, so this isn't surprising. Phil will recall the details.
