Public bug reported: # Release
Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 # Package Not sure how to check the version of the GNOME settings applet, sorry. # Steps to reproduce Connect an external monitor. Open the "Displays" section of the Settings app. Select "Single Display" and select the currently disabled monitor in preparation for switching to it. # Expected The "Scale" selection appears, as it does when the monitor is both selected and "Apply" has been clicked. # What happens instead The "Scale" selection does not appear, and in fact only appears after "Apply" has been clicked. This means that in order to switch to another monitor, you have to first apply an incorrect setting (scaling will be wrong), click "Keep Settings," find your way to the "Scale" selection, select the correct scaling, click "Apply" again, then click "Keep Settings" a final time. This is really bad when switching between monitors. The worst part is that whether or not the option is visible is inconsistent.
