Okay, before reverting out of curiousity I did try the recently updates packages and can confirm the issue is resolved, and everything seems stable, no regressions.

On high resolution display, 3200x1800, login screen is too tiny to read. GDM login screen doesn't reflect changes to org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor or text-scaling- factor. Eg: xhost +SI:localuser:gdm sudo su gdm -s /bin/bash gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 2.0 no effect. Creating a gdm user under /etc/dconf and running dconf update has no effect either. Scaling-factor seems to scale the mouse cursor, but nothing else.
