Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I have been trying to track down which component/application is actually responsible for creating and maintaining /com/ubuntu/user-interface/scale-factor, but so far no luck.

It seems to be related to Unity according to the few Google results I can see, so the question is whether a package failed to remove/move that setting or if OpenJDK should change what it looks at and/or in which order.

OpenJDK currently looks for:
- /com/ubuntu/user-interface/scale-factor
- com/canonical/Unity/Interface/text-scaling-factor
- org/gnome/desktop/interface/text-scaling-factor
in that order, using the first one it finds.

Weirdly enough it does not look for org/gnome/desktop/interface/scaling-factor.

These changes were introduced by JDK-8149115 in commit http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/a3cc7e551a48 but neither the bug nor the Mailing list discussion state why they picked those items and in this particular order.
