Requesting a UI freeze exception for this with the rationale being in
the bug description. The wording on the UI might change before this is
released, but no other changes are required.

- Fractional scaling is currently requires enabling an experimental feature in
Mutter to use it. We would like this feature to be easily enabled by users.
+ Fractional scaling is currently requires enabling an experimental feature in
Mutter to use it. We would like this feature to be easily enabled by users. A
lot of modern hardware supports high DPI displays and these are often not
usable without some form of fractional scaling.
[Test Case]
1. Open Settings
2. Select Displays panels
Expected result:
Scale can be set to fractional values (e.g. 125%). There is a UI control to
enable fractional scaling (disabled by default).
Observed result:
Scale can only be set to multiples of 100% unless the feature was enabled. No
UI control is shown for Fractional scaling.
[Regressional Potential]
New UI code risks introducing new bugs. Users enabling fractional scaling may
trigger new bugs.
