[Bug 1705156] Re: gnome-shell interface shows up extremely scaled up
For the record, this just happened to me on a *fresh* install of Ubuntu 18.04. The first thing I did after system installed months ago was to install Unity from repositories (and set lightdm as the default greeter). Unity may not be the default anymore in 18.04 but it runs and looks great. Today I needed to test Gnome Shell. So I logged out, and in the greeter selected "Ubuntu" instead of pre-selected "Unity (Default)". And that *insane* zoom up happened. Same as described by OP. Logging out and back into Unity everything is OK. Also tried "Ubuntu on Wayland)" and same super super zoom. Super+Alt+8 fixes the zoom. -- 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/1705156 Title: gnome-shell interface shows up extremely scaled up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1705156/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, this Ubuntu install has being with me already for some time. It may be something that I did or some upgrade in these 5 years. Anyway, closing the bug.

I've never heard of it happening by accident. I suppose prior to pressing that key combo it might have been interesting to check your default GSettings for it: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/Magnification Now that you've toggled it, checking the GSettings would be inconclusive. Perhaps it got stuck on somehow as a result of your system upgrades (the bug description shows you last did a fresh install on Ubuntu 12.10). -- 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/1705156 Title: gnome-shell interface shows up extremely scaled up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1705156/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1705156] Re: gnome-shell interface shows up extremely scaled up
You were right, thanks. That was the problem, although I have no idea how it ended like that. Shouldn't be a good thing that, when in that mode, there's some visual indication of it? Maybe a text in the corner that says "Your in zoom mode. Press Super+Alt+8 to exit"?

It appears you are somehow stuck in desktop zoom mode.

Can you please provide a screenshot (press PrtScn and look in Pictures/) or a photo?
