Yes that would be bad. You would get untested updates across all packages. Doing so usually breaks your system after a while. > Very odd, I'm only using a scale of 1.25 Ah you are right. Setting 125% I also see Xorg using a transform scale of 1.6x. Perhaps I got my maths wrong or perhaps Xorg fractional scaling is buggy. But the general idea for fixing this is still the same: * Turn OFF fractional scaling; or * Unplug some monitors While this is a software bug in GTK 3.x, the developers have moved on to GTK 4.x so I would not expect any significant changes to the design of 3.x that would fix this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2004533 Title: Gtk-WARNING ... drawing failure for widget ... invalid value (typically too big) Status in GTK+: Unknown Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: A tiny sample of of my logs starting with the subject of this thread: gnome-shell[15376]: Can't update stage views actor [:0x564e0cfc0900] is on because it needs an allocation. others gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:18.003: drawing failure for widget 'GtkImage': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.986: infinite surface size not supported gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkImage': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkEventBox': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkEventBox': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkFixed': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkEventBox': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) Feb 1 19:23:17 gnome-shell[15376]: DING: (gjs:23748): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:23:17.970: drawing failure for widget 'GtkApplicationWindow': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) st_widget_get_theme_node called on the widget [0x564e28a187d0 StBoxLayout ("…")] which is not in the stage. gnome-shell[15376]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x3a00004 Feb 1 19:02:01 gnome-control-c[19519]: Finalizing AdwPreferencesPage 0x556a2f5a5b70, but it still has children left: Feb 1 19:02:01 gnome-control-c[19519]: - GtkCenterBox 0x556a2f5b2300 Feb 1 19:02:03 gnome-shell[15376]: Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x3a00018 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: gnome-shell 43.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-29.30-generic 5.19.17 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-29-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.23.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Feb 1 23:40:47 2023 DisplayManager: gdm3 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.shell' b'disable-user-extensions' b'true' b'org.gnome.desktop.input-sources' b'sources' b"[('xkb', 'us')]" InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-01-17 (745 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200731) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_CA:en TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 43.0-1ubuntu4 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to kinetic on 2023-01-05 (27 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/2004533/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
