Scaling Bug #24

Open bpvarsity opened 2 years ago

bpvarsity commented 2 years ago

Build: MassOS 2022.02.2

I noticed that when I go to the display settings and check the scaling it is at 1x. Due to my high DPI screen I wanted to try 1.5x or 2x so everything would scale larger.

However it does the opposite and shrinks everything. In order to scale larger I have to set it 0.5x in order to achieve actual 1.5x.

I'll post some screenshots and video when I get home this evening.

Can confirm - I have replicated this. This is a bizarre thing to happen.

It isn't a critical bug since scaling still works; it's more of an inconvenience bug, however I'll still label it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Can confirm, the scaling seems to do the opposite, it might be Xfce related but I'll have to check if it replicates on other Xfce distros like Xubuntu 21.10 or EndeavourOS. Screenshot_2022-03-03_23-10-00 Screenshot_2022-03-03_23-12-15 I'm currently using MassOS 2022.02.2

I looked up the bug online and it's a known bug for more than an year.

I'll have a look at the upstream git version and see if the issue still persists or has been fixed upstream. If it has been fixed upstream, the fix should be backportable.

Tested with MassOS 2022.03 and a manually compiled build of the latest git sources of xfce4-settings (xfce4-settings-4.16.0-292-g41499d63 from git describe --tags) and the issue persists. At least it's not an issue exclusively with MassOS.

File another bug report on Xfce Gitlab or wait for it to be fixed?
