Description

After waking my MacBook Pro from sleep, approximately half the time, the menu bar on the secondary display (and the secondary display only) will appear with the text at double the size, as if it is being rendered at Retina resolution. This is consistent across two different external displays; both at non-retina resolution, both plugged in using the same display adapter.

After clicking once, anywhere, on the menu bar of the secondary display, the menu bar goes back to its normal appearance.

Screenshot attached.
