Package: i3-wm
Version: 4.8-1
Severity: serious

Lots of systems run with DPI != 96 for various reasons, one of the good
reasons being that the display in question was correctly detected as not
having a DPI of 96.

Before the introduction of high-DPI displays (“retina” displays),
everyone was just writing code that assumed 96 DPI. i3 gained support
for high-DPI displays with 4.8, but required correct configuration of
the DPI in order to work correctly.

This upstream commit improves the situation a lot:
https://github.com/i3/i3/commit/33d1d5d3c61a2136eb4b42ffd29870fd68d2d766,

With that commit, existing non-high-DPI setups can still be slightly
misconfigured and a DPI of 96 will be assumed. This fixes a couple of
rendering glitches, most notably in the buttons of i3bar and window
decoration font rendering.
