Public bug reported: I have a HiDPI screen and so have org.gnome.desktop.interface.scaling- factor set to 2 in gsettings so that everything isn't super tiny.
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor uint32 2 This has always work perfectly. That is, until this last round of updates on the artful daily. After I ran apt upgrade this morning (first time it like a week maybe?) scaling-factor seems to be ignored; everything is tiny again.
