To be able to use the UI of both Ubuntu and any applications you're using when running Ubuntu in a high resolution mode you have to use the UI scale settings. With the scale settings resetting every time the display sleeps a high resolution setting becomes practically useless.
As this issue has the impact that high resolution settings become useless it should be prioritized, especially since there are no workarounds available as far as I know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689356 Title: UI scale being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04, the HiDPI setting(Scale for menu and title bars) is being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while, making everything looks small. If the display sleeps and I resume it instantly, it's fine, but if the display slept for long, the HiDPI setting gets reset to 1. My guess is that if a display is plugged in(detected), the old DPI setting is not restored. This issue is not present on previous Ubuntu versions and the same issue persists even after a fresh install.
