Public bug reported:
The font text scaling setting is not being loaded on gnome startup. I
have font text scaling set to 1.25. After updating mutter to package
version 3.32.0-1ubuntu1 the text scaling setting is not loaded any more
when starting gnome. Steps to reproduce the issue:
1) Set your font scaling factor to something other than the default '1'.
This can be set, for example, either by using "Gnome tweaks" or with
gsettings:
settings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.25
2) You'll see that the top bar text gets larger.
3) Log out and log in. You'll see that the top bar text and text in general has
been reset to the default '1'. The setting is still set to '1.25', but visually
it's '1'.
If you set the value to something else, it gets applied correctly, until
you log out.
This worked as expected on package version 3.32.0-1. I wonder if this patch
listed in the CHANGELOG could have somehow created this side effect:
debian/patches/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch:
- X11: Add support for fractional scaling using Randr
