Wrongly detecting HighDPI and not saving the HighDPI setting across versions

I have a 14" 1080p monitor, which I would call a HighDPI monitor. However, EAGLE tries to autodetect my monitor as HighDPI and shows everything with twice the size and the workspace pixelated. The HighDPI mode is active, when High DPI Scaling or Auto Screen Scale Factor or both is enabled. I always disable both, but whenever I upgrade, the dialog window whether to migrate the settings from the old version is huge and I have to disable the scaling again.
As I found out, the settings in ~/.local/share/Eagle/settings/9.5.2/eaglerc get migrated to the new version, but the high DPI setting is in the file ~/.config/Autodesk/EAGLE 9.5.2.conf which gets High DPI enabled by default.
This problem does only occur on my T460 laptop under linux. With windows or with linux on another machine, the default dpi setting is fine.
I see two problems:
1. Wrongly autodetecting the HighDPI setting (which isn't very usefull even on HighDPI monitors, other than increasing the icon size)
2. Saving the setting in the wrong config file or not migrating both config files to the updated EAGLE version
