Public bug reported:
Steps
=====
- In Settings > Display, activate Fractional Scaling, and set it to 175%.
- Deactivate fractional scaling and press Apply
Expected results
================
The screen goes back to 200% integer scaling
Actual results
==============
Only the upper left quarter of the screen is being used.
Workaround
==========
After pressing Apply, a popup asks if we want to keep changes or revert
them.
Pressing "Revert" does not revert anything, but actually updates the
screen to use the full screen instead of just the upper left section,
while remaining in 200% integer scaling!
