Public bug reported:
Hello,
I would like to report a problem with fractional scaling.
I have set it at 125%. I'm using a Huawei Matebook 13inch 2020 AMD (Ryzen 5
3500u) with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics.
After starting the laptop, at the logon screen, the scaling seems to be
at 200% but after I logon and go into my user session it turns to a
scaling of 125%. At that moment I see 2 mouse pointers, one scaled 200%
and one scaled at 125%. The mouse pointer which is scaled at 200%
remains in its last position before the login process. It stays on top
of any app or window that you open which is a bit annoying.
The second mouse pointer (scaled at 125%) behaves normally.
I tried to take a screenshot, but on a screenshot neither mouse pointer
appear so I took a picture which I've added to this bug report.
This bug is not specific to this version of Ubuntu, I can reproduce the
problem in version 20.10. I haven't tried this in version 20.04. PopOS
20.10 does not exhibit this problem.
It's a pity that Gnome has not yet made a better implementation of
fractional scaling, high density display have been around for a while
now. One would expect if one sets the scaling at 125%, that this would
be applied system wide (sorry for the rant).
Best regards,
Eric
