While testing Ubuntu 25.10 beta, I noticed that enabling display scaling
(for example, setting the scale to 200%) causes issues with Nautilus
context menus.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable fractional scaling (e.g., 200%) in Display Settings.
2. Open Nautilus and right-click on a file or folder.
3. The context menu appears but becomes frozen. It does not respond to input
until I click outside the Nautilus window, at which point it closes.
This is particularly noticeable when using **Nautilus Scripts**. The
context menu freezes every time I try to access my custom scripts.
Expected behavior:
The context menu should remain responsive and allow interaction with its items,
regardless of display scaling settings.
Actual behavior:
The context menu becomes frozen/unresponsive whenever display scaling is active.
Additional notes:
* This issue only occurs when scaling is enabled (e.g., 200%).
* I suspect the bug may be related to underlying **GNOME or GTK libraries**
rather than Nautilus itself.
* System tested on: Ubuntu 25.10 beta (fresh install, updated).
** Affects: gtk4 (Ubuntu)
