I can't yet tell which issue this is, but it sounds likely to be one of https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/x11-hidpi-scaling-available-for-testing-on-disco/10293/3
If you need a fractional scale value then you should find the implementation for Wayland sessions performs better and is more complete. Because it doesn't have to deal with legacy Xorg. If you need Xorg then using whole scale values (n * 100%) works better as you mentioned, because it avoids the Xorg fractional scaling path. ** Tags added: performance -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846398 Title: Fractional scaling has significant visible refreshes on a 4k display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
