[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25, 3.26
I just got the mutter upgrade to 3.26.0+20170925~ea214fb-1. My gnome- shell text was too big! So I reverted my local modification to the theme's gnome-shell.css ;-) and now the gnome-shell text is the correct size. I presume this build includes the abovementioned patch. As this is, I think, the core bug in this bug report, I'm happy to call that fixed, as of this version. Aside: I'm still getting too-small (ie: unscaled) text on system titlebars and some other (non-gnome) apps on login, which then mysteriously fixes itself when gnome-tweaks is launched, and for the rest of the session. (Yes I am finding that works now, and not launching activities view or anything.) I think that probably belongs in a separate bug report though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25, 3.26 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25, 3.26
I'm looking forward to seeing how much the upstream changes fixes all these. Yes, I also saw some of the other transient effects noted above; the gnome-shell text part of it was just the bit I managed to isolate and find consistency in. :-) I had seen the need to apply scaling twice - sometimes, and titlebar text being unscaled at first, but fixing itself before long, I think after some particular thing happens that I haven't yet identified. (I think going to activities view and back fixed it, for instance, but not sure about that yet.) Some apps still having small text was "fixed" by setting the old scaling-factor setting, but I knew that wasn't a proper fix, just hoped it was an observation that might help someone narrow it down. IIRC I think one of the upstream bugs mentioned relates to that already. TBH I never did see any point in changing the text-scaling-factor setting (the font size multiplier in gnome tweak tool). It just makes the text that already is right go wrong, so I never found it to be useful. My only mention of it was to show how the problem, for me anyway, only affected gnome-shell *text*. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25, 3.26 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

with the-minute-before-updates, including nvidia 384-90, topbar's text (where the clock lays down), dash's text changes in a chaotic way through gnome-tweak-tool. When I change the values, it changes in a normal way only the already correct text size (like nautilus text and gnome-tweak-took's window-text). windows title's text: correct (normal changing) topbar's text, dash's text: wrong (chaotic changing) Issue: Chaotic changing. The size of the text on dash and the size of the text and size of topbar changes in a very strange way. From a value to the next it can be either normal, tiny in a random way. For example when change from value 0,81 to 0,80.. 0,81 is tiny and 0,80 is normal. But after some changes maybe both 0,8 and 0,81 be tiny or normal or otherwise. That is happening at all values between 0,80 and 1,00 that I checked. At start I tried to find a pattern and put here the values that happened, but there are not such values, if I change the values from 0,8 to 1,0 I get different result than if I change them from 1,0 to 0,8. ** Summary changed: - HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25 + HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25, 3.26 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25, 3.26 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25
I'd like to give a fresh description of this bug. I think I can do so more concisely, as it affects gnome-shell. I was in two minds about whether to report it as a new bug, but honestly feared if I did so it would just be marked a duplicate of this one and ignored. :-) Also to update for current versions: gnome-shell: 3.26.0-0ubuntu1 Under Xorg only (not Wayland), the *text* elements of gnome-shell do not reflect the scale setting chosen in Settings->Devices->Displays (set to 200% to reproduce), but instead just show the text at the size specified in gnome-shell.css as if the scale was set to 100%. The non-text elements of the gnome-shell UI are scaled correctly for the chosen scale factor, so the size of icons and other elements, and the placement of them, across the full screen is correct. Only the text size is wrong. Workaround 1: Using gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling- factor to match the selected desktop scale, eg: setting it to 2.00, corrects the error in gnome-shell, it then looks fine. But this is useless as a workaround as it also scales up all text on the desktop that was already scaled correctly. Workaround 2: If the shell theme in use has a gnome-shell.css file, edit it to set the stage font-size to double its original. eg: for Arc theme, as I use, change it from 9pt to 18pt. Obviously you need to change this whenever you change your desktop scale setting and force the theme to be reloaded. Note: This bug affects the default shell theme too, but as far as I can see, that doesn't have a comparable gnome-shell.css file to fix, so I don't know how to work around it with that. (I expect it is possible, I just don't know where.) Requested fix: in Xorg (it already works in Wayland), font size should be multiplied by desktop scaling factor. This is a regression because it used to work when desktop scaling was controlled by gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor. I think especially seeing as fractional scaling didn't make it into gnome 3.26, except in experimental (and somewhat broken, I did try it) form, it's not unreasonable to expect non-fractional scaling factors to continue to work as they did in 3.24, even if controlled from a different setting. :-) Slightly wider note on HiDPI: Forcing wayland on my nvidia system seemed to work for a while, but actually became more unstable over time as more updates came in, until as of writing, both nouveau and nvidia proprietary drivers fail catastrophically under kernel 4.13, apparently crashing in the DRM supporting code, making the system completely unusable. (I had to ssh in to recover.) Well, kms isn't supported under nvidia yet, so I was asking for trouble trying to force it to work, so this isn't a bug report about that. We know it's broken. Hence me going back to trying to use Xorg. On my non- nVidia machine I'm happy with Wayland, but I'm sure I'm not the only nvidia user out there with a HiDPI monitor who's about to see their systems become completely unusable under Linux. That's a lot of users who, right now, can't step up to Wayland, and there's probably more that have other rational reasons for needing to stick with Xorg right now. And the vexing thing is, it's so *close* to working pretty well under Xorg. I've needed to do just three workarounds to get the system back to being completely usable, even with two monitors of different sizes. The first is the one described above, to fix gnome-shell's text size. The second is to explicitly set gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor to 2 as well, as some apps, including some gnome apps like Nautilus, are still obeying that and not the new scale setting in the control center. I'm sure those apps will come around to the new setting eventually but they probably should get a separate bug report. (And will someone *please* tell me where that new setting is? I could really do with being able to set and read it via a script. Presumably it's a gsettings value somewhere? But I can't find it.) The third is to use Xrandr to provide something like fractional scaling in exactly the manner that macOS does it (so I really don't feel that it's slumming it, and if it's cheating, rather than "properly" doing fractional scaling, I'm happy with the cheat to have something that works *now*). This lets me, for instance, match a 27" 1440p monitor to a 27" 4K monitor both showing desktops of the same size, with scale set in displays prefs to 200%: To get a "Looks like 1080p" on a 1440p monitor, equivalent to 133.33...% scaling: xrandr --output DP-2 --scale-from 3840x2160 --auto --panning 3840x2160 That then pairs nicely with my 4K monitor at 200% and native resolution. Or to get a "Looks like 1440p" on a 4K monitor, equivalent to 150% scaling: xrandr --output DP-4 --scale-from 5120x2880 --auto --panning 5120x2880 (Actually on nvidia I can set this via the nvidia-settings app, but it's just doing xrandr as above, so it's not an nvidia-specific method.)

Also if you add a second monitor scaling is stuck at the default of the first screen and cannot be changed to anything else. Note: I am using a laptop with a 15 inch screen and 3200 x 1800 resolution with a second monitor with a 25 inch screen with 2560 x 1440 resolution. The primary monitor is the 25 inch and there is a scaling of 200% applied to the 15 inch.

[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25
No wait, I've bethought me, actually. Partly brought on by issues with nvidia/wayland that weren't immediately obvious - nouveau is actually working better for me, if noticeably a bit more sluggish. Regarding your comment: "I think that GNOME Shell 3.25.90 doesn't really support HiDPI for X, just for Wayland. That may be a regression, but Hi-DPI support in GNOME Shell has been redesigned to prepare to support fractional scaling in Wayland in a future release and it may be a lot more complicated for all that to work well on X too." Yes, it is a regression, because it was working for *non* fractional scaling factors, and should reasonably be expected to go on doing so, even if it's fed from a different setting. (ie: it's now ignoring org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor) At the moment, in the gnome control center 3.25, I'm seeing only these scaling options on my desktop: 100%, 200%, 300%; and on my laptop only 100%, 200%. So we don't currently have fractional scaling right now anyway, though presumably they're expected to appear at some point. But it's rational to expect these non-fractional scaling factors to *go on working* in xorg, and perhaps for only those scaling factors to be offered via the user interface when in xorg. And it so nearly does already. As previously described right now it's only gnome-shell itself, and non-GTK apps, that are not being scaled in xorg now, where they were before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25
I care slightly less than I used to because I just now persuaded ubuntu wayland session to run on nvidia-384 proprietary drivers. :-) Something which I presume is intended to be the default behaviour at some point, or at least for Nouveau. So since I reported this bug the move to gnome 3.25 has made it possible, for me at least, to leave Xorg behind, along with problems like this. I'm sure you'll have plenty of people who can't, or won't, for one reason or another, but I'm not one of them. nouveau and nvidia didn't work with wayland out of the box though; I had to pick up hints from archlinux forums and suchlike to figure out the necessary incantations. Presumably that'll get ironed out before release ;-) because now it's working it seems fine, apart from a minor redraw glitch while dragging windows larger, which if I'm going to make anything of I'll report elsewhere.

... or if you meant does the gnome tweak tool *itself* appear with its user interface elements at the correct size or too small? It shows at the correct size, including the titlebar... but actually contrary to my original report *all* titlebars, both the system and integrated type, are now being shown with text at the correct size. In gnome-shell itself - the top bar, the menus and indicators off that, the applications and activities views - the text is still half-size. Also in at least some QT apps (eg: nextcloud-client) the text is still half-size, but GTK-based apps that had half-sized text in the original bug report, eg: hexchat, sublime text, etc., those now seem fine.

It scales all text relative to its original size. So if I set it to 2.0 the text that's half size will be the correct size, but the text that already *was* the correct size will be twice that size, and mostly too big for the windows it's in, as only the text has been scaled, not most of the other user interface components. As described in the original post under the paragraph starting "gsettings org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor" I've never seen the point of that setting. It's always done that, but only setting the text scale without the rest of the user interface is useless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25
Hope I'm not being overly pedantic: The upgrade that originally broke it, that I applied on Aug 27, did *not* include gnome-shell. If it had it would have been an obvious culprit and I would have reported the bug against that instead of gnome- session. So at the time I originally reported this bug I was still running gnome-shell 3.24.3-0ubuntu4, according to my apt history.log. Adding the gnome3-staging PPA on Aug 29 and thus only then getting gnome-shell 3.25 is what *fixed* the bug, but only for Wayland sessions. Xorg sessions still showed, and continue to show, the bug. (On my nvidia machine I'm now using nouveau/wayland to get around it despite other issues, but that's another story.) Under Xorg the bug continues to show regardless of driver, ie: on nvidia proprietary drivers, nouveau, and on my other machine, on intel hd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade to Gnome 3.25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade
Spoke slightly too soon. It's fine on the Wayland machine, but a bit more unstable on the nvidia/xorg machine, and I seem to need to select the scale percentage twice before it properly takes effect, and it looks like under some circumstances it can revert to the state described in the original post. Well, that's probably (one reason) why it's still in staging. :-) So I guess we're already at the point where wayland is more stable than xorg.

[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade
I can confirm that including gnome3-staging solves most of my HiDPI issues. Nearly everything seems to work now, according to the setting in the control panel -> peripherals -> display tab. I don't know what that is exposing in gsettings (if it is); nothing obvious. It's certainly *not* org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor, which is unaffected by that control. But it is working for me. What still doesn't work: * Java9 JavaFX, which is still apparently getting its idea of scale purely from org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor and works according to that setting. That's their bug, presumably. * QT apps like nextcloud-client may still have issues. When launched at login it still shows small fonts, but when relaunched later, it's fine. Little wrinkle. It might be the difference between the mysterious new setting being at a default-autodetect state, and being set deliberately to 200% now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1713323] Re: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade
I was changing the settings from the commandline via gsettings eg: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2 gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor etc. etc. That setting never was exposed in the user interface, to my knowledge. Rather uselessly the text-scaling-factor setting was, and is, in gnome- tweaks. I'll put gnome3-staging on one of my systems and see what's what. I think the hope would be that the gnome-control-center now exposes the setting that works, whatever that is, presumably not scaling-factor :-) Let's see... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It appears the release of gnome-control-center is delayed (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control- center/+bug/1712797). Enabling the gnome3-staging ppa via (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging) allowed me to change the scaling factor again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713323 Title: HiDPI support partially broken after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1713323/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This may be related to fractional scaling (https://hackmd.io/KwQwxiAsCmCMwFoCcJiwTAHAEwSESiAbAOwDMYJcAZtWWdkA?view) that I think will be in Gnome 3.26.
