AFAIK, it's a known issue with retina screens and scaled resolutions. If you use the default resolution, you should not see any issue.

The default resolution has been a scaled resolution for years now.

So do I. My MacBook Pro came out of the box supersampling at 3360x2100, or 1680x1050@2x. The screen is only 2880x1800.
