1. This bug happens without screen scale changes, e.g. modal appointment 
reminder windows by Evolution regularly start in this screwed up state.
2. Switching screen scales is pretty normal for a production laptop that goes 
on and off external monitors, e.g. between working desk and commuter shuttle/ 
kitchen table.  Not an unusual setup.
3. Snap apps *always* end up borked after screen scale changes, other apps 
sometimes, there is something with the snap apps that could be interesting to 
investigate, if anybody cared to investigate.
4. Xorg + Nvidia are pretty typical for many production laptops, e.g. for the 
rare tribe of engineers working with deep learning.  Ubuntu is a typical 
operating system because it aligns well with the servers that are eventually 
used.  This is certainly not everybody but a cool bunch.
5. There are many reasons why Wayland may not be appropriate for a laptop used 
for work, I found a list online 
https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277 and my 
personal thing would be: How to I ever get out of Libre Office (which hangs a 
lot for simple stuff like copy-pasting a table column) without xkill?
6. I strongly believe that the attitude "this is open source and anyone is 
entitled to try and debug it and offer fixes" is inappropriate and a weird kind 
of gate keeping that is toxic to open source projects.  Open source is not open 
source and your expertise is not mine.  I am a user of thousands of open source 
projects and I contribute to and maintain a couple of tens.  I am an expert in 
my domain and I care for the open source projects that I can contribute to.  I 
do not tell users to fix my bugs.  I am not an expert in fixing novel window 
decoration bugs in Ubuntu, this is your domain, please take ownership of your 
bugs.
