Public bug reported: In the unity control center design panel, the window content scaling is missing a very important option: "per-display"
Background: My primary notebook display is a 4k monitor with high dpi. External monitors are often only 1080p monitors. Because I can't scale the displays accordingly to their dpi, windows on one display are very small and the other one are big. Only offering effectively basically 3 options, biggest-control-area, smallest-control-area and according-to-one-display is not enough. It is much needed to be able to control the window scaling according to the display it is currently in. A window's anchor point should decide which scaling factor is applied. This would not prevent falsely scaled windows to clip into other displays, but it would be very much appreciated by multi monitor users.
