I'm looking forward to seeing how much the upstream changes fixes all
these. Yes, I also saw some of the other transient effects noted above;
the gnome-shell text part of it was just the bit I managed to isolate
and find consistency in. :-)

I had seen the need to apply scaling twice - sometimes, and titlebar
text being unscaled at first, but fixing itself before long, I think
after some particular thing happens that I haven't yet identified. (I
think going to activities view and back fixed it, for instance, but not
sure about that yet.) Some apps still having small text was "fixed" by
setting the old scaling-factor setting, but I knew that wasn't a proper
fix, just hoped it was an observation that might help someone narrow it
down. IIRC I think one of the upstream bugs mentioned relates to that
already.

TBH I never did see any point in changing the text-scaling-factor
setting (the font size multiplier in gnome tweak tool). It just makes
the text that already is right go wrong, so I never found it to be
useful. My only mention of it was to show how the problem, for me
anyway, only affected gnome-shell *text*.
