A friend of mine has the problem too. He first used his monitor over VGA and scaled it up. Then got a new graphic card and connected it through HDMI. Even when the scale factor was set to 1, the desktop was too big, so that some buttons like the "power cog" wasn't visible at all. We reconnected the monitor through VGA and to our surprise, the scale factor wasn't 1 as expected, but higher. After resetting the scale factor to 1 and switching again to HDMI the scale factor was correct and all the display widgets visible.
He is now affected by this bug. The settings show scale factor 1 but the font is huge. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282847 Title: desktop ui scale is huge even though the setting is set to a scale of 1 Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just updated and restarted the laptop. When it started, the gtk widgets are all huge. The unity shell is not scaled. I opened up the Display settings to find a new scale widget, which is currently set to 1. Lowering it did not change anything. This is all experienced on a Macbook Pro Retina 11,1.
