[Bug 1750273] Re: UI scaling broken after last update in Xenial
This is a tricky issue... Probably having a setting for this is just the way to go, since the fact is that we can't scale x11 toolkits in a fractional way. While using xrandr might have performance impacts. So, now we scale the UI at 2 and text down when 1.5 is reached. And it works better in some cases. While I see it's not the best in others. As workaround (works only temporary) calling gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 1 So we could go back to previous revision, or maybe set a gsettings for changing this threshold. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750273 Title: UI scaling broken after last update in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1750273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You can downgrade your Unity and Compiz to older version this may help https://askubuntu.com/questions/59443/how-can-i-revert-back-from-an-upgrade-to-the-proposed-repository and don't forget to hold your unity version sudo apt-mark hold unity then you can upgrade to newest again(except unity and compiz). Another way is cancel this patch https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/7.5.0+17.04.20161130-0ubuntu1 and build a new package.I tried ,but fail.

In my case, the newest update (unity 7.4.5+16.04.20171201.3) broke scaling levels larger than 1.38; when scale for menu and title bars is set as values larger or equal to 1.5 in Displays setting, window text displays *way* smaller than it is set as 1.38. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750273 Title: UI scaling broken after last update in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1750273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In my case I have 2 displays one at 1920x1080 (Display A) and another at 3840x2160 (Display B). When I have (A) and (B) active or just (A) active, zoom behaves normally at <=1.38 but at >=1.5 it goes much larger than it should. When only (B) is active, then the behaviour of the zoom at <=1.38 is different, it is far too. small. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750273 Title: UI scaling broken after last update in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1750273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1750273] Re: UI scaling broken after last update in Xenial
In my case, the update broke scaling of window and menu contents but not title and menu bars, and it made the window and menu contents appear smaller at 1.5 than at 1.38, while the title and menu bars continue to appear larger. The problem manifests with scaling >= 1.5, but also appears to have some interesting behavior between 2.38 and 2.5, kind of like there's some kind of truncation/quantization that's phase-shifted by 0.5. Basically window and menu contents at 2.38 appear to be the same size as they are at 1.38, and same for 2.5 and 1.5. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750273 Title: UI scaling broken after last update in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1750273/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Adding two screenshots highlighting the issue. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of how Files looks like at 1.5 scaling" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1750273/+attachment/5057886/+files/1.5x.png ** Description changed: After an update that went live a few days ago, Unity's fractional scaling is misbehaving for some scaling values. It's something I had already noticed in Unity that shipped in Zesty some time ago. With this update, this now affects Xenial as well. For scaling values up to 1.38x it behaves as it should, but when the scaling hits the 1.5x mark, the UI elements resize as though I had - selected 2x scaling. Text resizes to 1.5x, but the UI itself scales to - 2x. + selected a much higher scaling. Text resizes to 1.5x, but the UI itself + scales to a much higher number. It wasn't like that until this last round of updates to Xenial.
