Issue

Double interface scale not working

Steps to reproduce

Go to settings -> display -> base interface scale Choose Double from the dropdown

The screen will resize to a quarter and switch back. The "Do you want to keep these settings" dialog pops up, but nothing was changed and interface scale is back to "normal".

Except now, the "double" option is gone from the interface scale dropdown.

Expected behaviour

Interface gets bigger in size like on Mint 19

Hi can you check out this comment: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-control-center/pull/238#issuecomment-646734935

I've uploaded some test packages that hopefully help resolve some of the issues people are having with display configuration.

Thanks

Hi,

This is upstream from us unfortunately and a limitation between xrandr and the GPU driver. What we'll do is make it clearer fractional scaling is ON and advertise it as an experimental feature with limitations.
