I've been seeing this issue (on rare occasions) for years. So it's not
new but also not common enough to be a big concern. Once a user has
settled on a choice of resolution and rebooted, they will never see it
again.

Title:
When switching from 175% fractional scaling back to integer scaling,
only a quarter of the screen is used
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps
=====
- In Settings > Display, activate Fractional Scaling, and set it to 175%.
- Deactivate fractional scaling and press Apply
Expected results
================
The screen goes back to 200% integer scaling
Actual results
==============
Only the upper left quarter of the screen is being used.
Workaround
==========
After pressing Apply, a popup asks if we want to keep changes or
revert them.
Pressing "Revert" does not revert anything, but actually updates the
screen to use the full screen instead of just the upper left section,
while remaining in 200% integer scaling!
