Short description of error
When moving a window from one monitor to another with a different scale, while the current workspace is updated correctly, if you change to another workspace you will see that the font size remains the same as the previous monitor.

Layout status after moving the window to the other monitor (ok):

Layout status after switching to the "Animation" workspace:

As shown above, there are layout issues as this window is drawing the text in a font size that is really meant for that other window.
Moving your mouse into each area will properly draw each one in the expected font size:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open blender (factory settings) on any monitor with normal 100% scaling.
Select "New Window" from the "Window" menu
drag the resulting window to a different monitor that has increased scale (in this example 125%)
Switch to the "Animation" workspace.

I am no longer able to recreate this behavior on current master (2.93 Alpha). Can't think of anything that explicitly fixed it though. But without being able to recreate it is hard to test for a solution.

I have updated D10483: Fix #85706: wm_window_make_drawable update DPI which fixes #87305 (Glitching UI), #89908 (UI scale is changing after mouse is over), #94278 (Top bar disappears while using two windows).
