Macbook Pro Retina, Windows 10 bootcamp

Scrollbars and dropdown buttons are really tiny. Looks like they aren't being scaled to high DPI.
Could you attach a screenshot of what you're seeing? Thanks.

On a real win10 box with fullHD display and 125% upscale I don't see any problems.  Screenshot would help tho.
:aklotz, could you attach a screenshot showing examples of this problem with latest Nightly, please? I haven't seen it on my windows hi-dpi system, but wonder if it's somehow a bootcamp issue...
I was able to repro after having Fx maximized on a lower dpi external monitor, and then unplugging the monitor. When Fx was moved to my retina, it continued to use the previous dimensions for the themed controls.

I'll upload a screenshot when I get a chance.

I was able to reproduce this on a Windows 10 and 8.1 machine with low and hi-dpi monitors. 
Maximized FF on hi-dpi screen, unplugged hi-dpi screen, FF switched to low-dpi. The other way around (unplug the low-dpi screen) the issue did not reproduce.
Forgot to mention that I used latest Nightly and DevEdition to test this. I also went ahead and test with old Nightlys and I got this: 

Nightly 2016-01-12 - not affected (per-monitorDPI was not enabled)
Nightly 2016-01-14 - Affected (per-monitorDPI enabled)

Aha, thanks; I've been able to reproduce this, too.

Which direction it reproduces is dependent on which of the screens was your primary monitor, I think. I've been able to trigger the problem in both directions (resulting in either oversized or miniature controls), by varying my display configuration.
The issue here arises when the system's primary display is removed, leaving a single display whose DPI does not match the (fixed-until-signout) Windows system scaling. Because of cases like this, we can't short-circuit the theme-scale computation even if there's only a single monitor present, as it may nevertheless differ from the system DPI.

Always compute theme scaling factor when per-monitor dpi aware, even if only a single display is currently present

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: 890156 (per-monitor dpi)

[User impact if declined]: potential for incorrect scaling of controls after certain types of change to display configuration

[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: manually

[Risks and why]: minimal, just removing a shortcut that is not always valid

[String/UUID change made/needed]: none
