I have a laptop with built in display 2560 x 1600 resolution. So for this
display I need to set the scaling to 125% otherwise the fonts are too small,
practically unreadable.
Then, I am connecting external display with resolution 2560 x 1440 for which I
want to set the font scaling to 100%.
Attempting to change the font scales results in:
- font scaling cannot be set different for each display
- when the font scaling is set to 100 % it is ok
- when the font scaling is set to 125 % for laptop (primary) display this
affects both displays, the settings form starts to generate artifacts and
becomes partially non-responsible (settings need to be restarted)
- when the font scaling is set to 125% on external display, this leads to
improper font scaling (200%)
- fractional scaling was enabled in all cases
Summary:
- non-responsive Settings when font scaling is changed
- improper scaling on external display
- scaling cannot be set differently for attached displays
