Thanks. Not a Mir bug. Mir is reporting correct display information all
the way to unity8.log at least:
[2016-11-21 04:31:38.606047] mirserver: Initial display configuration:
[2016-11-21 04:31:38.606590] mirserver: 0.37: eDP 13,2" 290x170mm

Title:
incorrect UI scale on high-resolution desktop
Status in Canonical System Image:
New
Status in Mir:

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
On a hidpi display, the unity8 desktop session in 16.10 has an
oversized and inconsistent UI scale. The unity8 session is absolutely
not usable for testing (because there is not even enough screen space
to display the logout menu item).
The shell+cursor is rendered with a UI scale of at least 2× the correct scale
(e.g. 4× the scale of a low-dpi display). Due to this the indicator menus
collapse immediately after clicking because they are larger than the screen
height.
The content of the scopes window is rendered with 4× the correct scale,
giving space for only one icon.
In unity 16.04, the correct scale could be achieved by setting "export
GRID_UNIT_PX=16" in .bashrc, however this has no effect anymore when I
remove or change it. The issue is also in the guest session.
Ubuntu version: 16.10 (fresh install)
unity8 version: 8.14+16.10.20160 amd64
physical resolution: 3200×1800
resolution used by unity8: 3200×1800 (at first sight I thought it
selected a low resolution, but in fact fonts are very sharp).
