Still occurs for me on Unity 5.6.1p1. Makes working with two monitors basically impossible.

To add to this: the flickering occurs when ANY Unity window updates on the laptop's retina screen. For example, it occurs if you move the Profiler to that screen (but keep the Game window on the 2nd screen), or as you interact with any inspector on the laptop screen.

Same issue,
Using Macbook Pro connect to a 1080p monitor. If Game View is on the 1080p, it's all working fine.
However, if Game View is dragged over to the laptop's retina monitor (with Retina scale disabled), UI elements move to half of the screen, looks like the dimension calculation between the editor and the game view get messed up. UI elements flicker when in Play mode.
