Public bug reported:
I right-click on desktop, click Display Settings, and find the Fractional
Scaling option.
When I enable the option my screen rotates 90 degrees. It's as if the display
thought I had rotated my device 90 degrees (but I hadn't I'm using a laptop).
Can attach screenshots if possible.
I just freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 from a USB and ran sudo apt-get
update and sudo apt-get upgrade for the first time literally minutes
ago. Nothing else was installed except for Grub Customizer and
EDIT: Turns out I can't attach three screenshots. I can only attach one.
I attached the final screenshot. I took screenshots of the original
rotation, then before I selected the Fractional Scaling option, then
what happened after. But I can only attach one of them. Please allow us
to attach more than one screenshot.
