Public bug reported:
Recently upgraded to Disco beta.
Running a 1080p screen at 100% scaling.
uname -a :
Linux giga 5.0.0-8-generic #9-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 12 21:58:11 UTC 2019 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Graphics card : GeForce GT 710/PCIe/SSE2
Drivers version: Nvidia-Driver-418
Not 100% sure this is a Gnome-Shell issue (Not sure if this is the correct
package to log it against) or an "Idiot User" issue. As I've upgraded this
system for the past 3 releases (18.02, 18.10 & 19.04 beta) without a clean
install between upgrades.
When I reboot, all on screen text is tiny. Icons are normal size but text is
nearly unreadable. This also effects any text input boxes (i.e. user password)
Text in "Show Applications" screen is also effected.
*Workaroud*
Only work around for the desktop is to go in to "Settings" then
"Devices" then Adjust the scaling to 200%, hit Apply, then press "Revert
Changes", this resets the scaling to normal.
This does not fix the scaling in the "Show Applications" screen.
Attached images in Scaling_Issues.zip :
