Public bug reported:
After upgrading to 19.04, I enabled the experimental 'x11-randr-
fractional-scaling' setting. If I set scaling to 125, 150, or 200%, the
setting is remembered and used the next time I log in. If I set scaling
to 100%, however, the next time I log in the scaling switches back to
200% automatically. I only want to use fractional scaling for external
monitors.
Background: This is on a Dell XPS 9360 with a 1920x1080 ~168 DPI screen.
Pretty standard configuration. I have my DisplaySize set to 294x165 in
Xorg.conf, Xft.dpi=168, GTK font scaling factor 1.0.
I have been unable to find an appropriate combination of settings where
168 DPI is respected for accurate font rendering, while at the same time
not scaling up the rest of the UI to unusable proportions. Fractional
scaling seems to be the only way to adjust some Gnome UI elements.
