Public bug reported: Test Case ======= From Ubuntu Desktop 26.04 LTS Ideally, you'd have a HD display (1920x1080 or higher) Open the GNOME Settings app. Switch to the Displays tab and set Scale to 200%. Click Apply then Keep Settings. Close the GNOME Settings app. Run GDK_BACKEND=x11 gnome-text-editor
gnome-text-editor should be scaled the same way as your other apps. Other Info ========== This is a regression triggered by systemd 259~rc1 (currently in resolute-proposed). I also still experience this bug with systemd 259~rc2-1. At least one Fedora Rawhide user also reported this issue after systemd 259~rc2 was pushed there (they had been using systemd 258 before). See attached Debian bug and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/-/issues/8866 I'm setting the block-proposed tag because my assumption is we don't want to unknowingly introduce a regression. However, I understand if it's necessary to land systemd 259 sooner and figure out the xwayland scaling issue later.
