Public bug reported: Today I learned from omgubuntu how to reset my gnome/ubuntu desktop settings (dconf reset -f /), and thought I'd do it, seeing as I had upgraded from a Zesty install at an earlier stage of 17.10's pre-release period, and further customised as time went on in the normal way of things. Some of the issues I've been having have apparently disappeared, which is good. This has not:
On login with this 4K screen (and after bug #1717272 was fixed), desktop scale setting is set to 200% as I'd wish, and gnome-shell is scaled correctly. But the text of the Rubbish Bin icon on the desktop, and the windows of, for instance, Files, Software and Terminal, are all unscaled. (See screenshot.) When I launch gnome-tweaks, all these other windows immediately become correctly scaled, and everything remains properly scaled for the remainder of the session. Note, I haven't *changed* any settings in gnome-tweaks, all I did was *launch* it. (See second screenshot, which it looks like I need to attach to a reply as I can't see how to attach two screenshots to the OP.) (In between the two screenshots I also launched the main settings control panel. Launching this doesn't do anything AFAIK, I was just checking what the default desktop scaling was - and it was 200%, though this might not be a dconf thing and thus survives from before the reset.) This seems only to affect Gnome/Ubuntu sessions under Xorg, not Wayland. I was experiencing this before the dconf reset on two machines, one with nvidia graphics, one with intel iris graphics, so this one, at least, seems not to be an nvidia-related issue. It looks like some value relating to scaling, that affects many apps, is not properly set in Xorg until gnome-tweaks is launched and presumably explicitly refreshes things. Note, a comment on an earlier bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- shell/+bug/1713323/comments/12 asked about whether launching gnome tweaks changed anything. For me at the time it didn't, so I said so and it seemed unrelated to *that* issue, but I am now seeing it relating to this issue, so wanted to report it clearly as a separate thing - especially seeing as that issue was eventually marked a duplicate of another which has been resolved, whereas this issue still clearly is not resolved.
