Public bug reported:
Just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, which has a
3200x1800 display. Consequently, I need to scale up everything in the
system to have anything render at a reasonable size. I found the new
"Scale for menu and title bars" option in the Display Settings, and set
it it 2.25. This, for the most part, did what I wanted.
* Unity interface is scaled
* Text is scaled
* Many builtin applications seem to scale correctly
However, there's some funky inconsistencies as to what has scaled:
* Depending on what the mouse is over, it either renders at the larger
(correct) size, or a smaller (incorrect) size. Examples of things which render
the mouse incorrectly include the global/window bars, unity application
selector, most applications (firefox and most of software center are notable
exceptions), and sometimes right-click menus.
* Some (GTK provided?) widgets (most notably checkboxes, radio buttons, scroll
bars, and ) render too small. This is visible in most third-party applications,
which are otherwise correctly sized. Firefox and CompizConfig are examples of
this, even after layout.css.devPixelsPerPx was changed in Firefox to match the
display setting.
* The change occasionally doesn't correctly register with some or all
applications (regardless of whether they were open at the time). Adjusting the
slider always changes the unity global ui correctly, but sometimes the settings
manager or nautillus would not actually render at an increased size, even after
a reboot. Other times it would register fine even without a reboot.
