Signal stickers on desktop have low resolution. #3922

Bug Description

When trying to select a sticker to send on signal desktop, the stickers display in painfully low resolution. Actual Result:

Stickers which have text basically can't be read. Consider the following sticker: image

On mobile it can easily be found and the text read: image

However on desktop the resolution is so low the text is barely legible. Some of the other stickers are completely illegible. image

I tried this on both a 1920x1080 monitor and a 3840x2160 monitor.

One thing which improves the situation is zooming in via Ctrl + =, however that increases the GUI size to look really goofy. The following screenshot was my full 1920x1080 monitor: image

Expected Result: I would expect the stickers to appear in a larger window so they can be read.

Platform Info

Signal Version:

signal desktop: v1.30.0

Operating System:

Ubuntu 18.04 running i3-gaps.

This appears to be related to the fuzzy emoji picker we've also seen. Please tell us more about your graphics hardware, drivers, and resolution/DPI in your various setups.
