ContextMenuStrip doesn’t DPI-scale its items properly

See original GitHub issue

.NET Core Version

6.0.0-preview.3.21201.4

Have you experienced this same bug with .NET Framework? Didn’t bother to check; I no longer target .NET Framework

Problem description

The below screenshot illustrates the problem much better than words can. The left menu is the ContextMenuStrip; the right menu is a ToolStripMenuDropDown.

Expected behavior

All menu items should have the same height, no matter what kind of container they are located in.

IsHandleCreated for ContextMenuStrip when DPI changed? if not, it won’t receive any DPI change messages.

IsHandleCreated is always false for ContextMenuStrip.

I created a repro and found out that the main problem causes ToolStripItem.AutoSize property set to false. With AutoSize set to true menu items are resized correctly. However they still show wrong DeviceDpi and everything should be resized correctly with any AutoSize value.

@wjk, seems two different issues were discussed in this thread and one of them doesn’t repro with lates. Please reactivate if you still see the issue with lates .NET 8.0 bits…
