Public bug reported: Since Ubuntu switched to Gnome, display scaling does not work correctly. This is because my external monitor is detected as 7" although it is 32". All applications which use Qt auto scaling have huge controls!
It seems like many users have the same problem (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390362) and thus disable Qt auto scaling. I think the solution should be to fix the size detection instead. Further, it seems not related to graphics driver, since I personally use the open source driver with my internal Intel card, whereas someone else uses a proprietary Nvidia driver (https://askubuntu.com/q/1066879/206608). If it is in the wrong category, please move it / add the corresponding packages. If you need any further information to tackle the problem, just tell me! ** Affects: qt Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Gnome Display Settings" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792167/+attachment/5188009/+files/Samsung-7-instead-of-32.png ** Also affects: gdm Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vlc Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: vlc ** Also affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: gdm ** Also affects: qt Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792167 Title: Display size detected wrongly Status in Qt: New Status in gdm package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in vlc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since Ubuntu switched to Gnome, display scaling does not work correctly.
