[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Emacs version: 28.0.50

Window system: Windows (Windows 10)



Image descriptors :map can create hot-spot for an image.

The area will be specified as (rect . ((0 . 0) . (200 . 300))), but
this will not be reflected correctly in my HiDPI environment.


Reproduce steps:

1: eval following to insert image.

```

(require 'svg)
(let ((start (point))
      (end (progn (insert "x") (point))))
  (put-text-property
   start end 'display
   (let ((svg (svg-create 400 300)))
     (svg-rectangle svg 0 0 200 300 :fill "blue")
     (svg-rectangle svg 200 0 200 300 :fill "green")
     (svg-image svg :map '(((rect . ((0 . 0) . (200 . 300))) left-area (help-echo "left-area"))
               ((rect . ((200 . 0) . (400 . 300))) right-area (help-echo "right-area")))))))
```

2: move mouse cursor on image.

expected: when mouse is on blue rectangle area, tool-tip "left-area" appears.
actual: The area which tool-tip "left-area" appears doesn't match blue rectangle area.

The area which tool-tip "left-area"appears is smaller than expected.



My screen scale is 200%. If I change the scale to 100%, Emacs works
correctly. So I think this is HiDPI-related problem.


After more investigation, it seems that this is not a problem limited
to the Windows High DPI environment. Because the function `find_hot_spot`
does not take :scale value into account, the area appears to be misaligned.



Either find_hot_spot needs to be adapted to take :scale into account, or we
need to document that :map only works well when :scale is 1.0.
