[Touch-packages] [Bug 1642272] Re: Incorrect UI scale on high-resolution desktop (everything is gigantic)
I discovered: Initially, I had set environment variables in .bashrc for manually triggering the UI scaling of Qt5, Java, etc. During debugging of this issue (as instructed above) I **commented them out** and after loout/login, the incorrect UI scale persisted. Now I noticed that QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2 and QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=2 were still set automatically during the boot/login process. Instead of commenting them out, I then set them to 1 in ~/.bashrc but they still were overriden. QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=1 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 GRID_UNIT_PX=20 Then I set them in ~/.profile and they were not overriden. Moreover, the unity8 session (8.14+16.10.20160922-0ubuntu2) renders in the correct scale and digikam (5.4.0, Qt 5.7.0) as well. It seems like a Qt API break so that not only these variables are not needed anymore for new programs, but their presence now has the inverse effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642272 Title: Incorrect UI scale on high-resolution desktop (everything is gigantic) Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Mir: Invalid Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a hidpi display, the unity8 desktop session in 16.10 has an oversized and inconsistent UI scale.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1642272] Re: Incorrect UI scale on high-resolution desktop (everything is gigantic)
I'm not sure if this is the right bug to mention it in, but I find the opposite problem on 3200x1800 displays more recently... Unity8 is unscaled and tiny. ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Assignee: Stephen M.
