I see this too on a HiDPI display. I was able to workaround it by using Steffen's suggestion: $ sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd.real
Then creating /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd with: #!/bin/sh set -e export GDK_SCALE=1.0 exec /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd.real Then: sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/notify-osd Test with: $ sudo killall notify-osd $ notify-send test Note: once you are using the above wrapper you will use 'sudo killall notify-osd.real' instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to notify-osd in Ubuntu.
