Ouch, that makes it seem pretty unlikely that the visual bugs would
get fixed any time soon :-(

But thanks for the information.

I'd wholeheartedly agree, if it weren't for the pixel bugs.

I'd really appreciate some triaging help per email or here - either 
about you seeing problems in this or other setups, or about you not
seeing problems despite similar setup. "Problems" means for example,
that if another window is moved over the jdk11 app, or even just a
combo/dropdown box or popup window closing (and thereby unobscuring 
only parts of the jdk-11 window), then some spurious lines remain
visible.

Myself, I see it on my two-heads setup, each 1280x1024 (apparrently
no high-dpi) scaled at 125% "default" and a colleague's machine (likely
same scaling, but didn't yet think of checking his scaling those few
days ago).  Both machines run Windows 7.  No other applications show
these symptoms, not even those that also adhere to the scaling).
