[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1825625] Re: mutter framebuffer scaling blurs display
Thanks! The blurriness in comment #4 is expected. Any apps which don't natively support scaling will be scaled by the compositor, which means they will either appear blurry or unevenly pixelated. We choose blurry. So this is not a mutter or gnome-shell bug. It is however a Firefox bug for not supporting scaling. As for the black frame in comment #5, that is a different issue. That is bug 1751593. ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Also affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - mutter framebuffer scaling blurs display + Some apps appear blurry with framebuffer scaling ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825625 Title: Some apps appear blurry with framebuffer scaling Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Setting the framebuffer scaling (with gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']") allows the display on HiDPi to be scaled to something different than 100%/200%/300%.
