• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Anton Gubarkov 2016-11-14 18:45:59 UTC]

Created attachment 453308 [details]
screenshot of calc

The icons and UI elements are super-big
The workable area of the window is limited to the 1/4th of the screen. 

libreoffice became completely unusable.

Probably related with:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1370051

But that one seems to affect wayland support, are you using it?

No, I don't. I'm on X session.

[Comment 3 Anton Gubarkov 2016-11-15 13:48:33 UTC]

After examining my process list, I found out that indeed gnome 3.22 makes the wayland session the default. The session names in gdm are gnome and gnome on X now.
I switched the session to X and libreoffice is back to normal.

In 3.20 I think it was running wayland for gdm, but gnome session was still running on X... maybe we should revert to X as I am unsure how mature was wayland support... but we still have time to decide I guess :/

Pushed gtk+-3.22.4, please check if it fixes this issue for you.
According to upstream NEWS, it should.

I confirm that upgrading to gtk+-3.22.4 fixes the issue with enourmous UI elements sizes on HiDPI display.
