Title:
Regression: text scaling factor lost for GNOME Shell when logging out
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
As of a few weeks ago or so, GNOME Shell loses the text scaling factor
(it's set back to 1) when logging out and logging back in again. It is
preserved for other programs, just not the shell (top bar, menus,
dash). Setting it to another value and then back to the desired value
changes it until the next log out. I tried with a new user account and
a second machine, and I see the same thing.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set a text scaling factor. (Something larger is easier to notice the
change for.)
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.5
2. Notice apps and the shell have larger fonts now.
3. Log out and log back in (or restart).
4. Notice now that the top bar and other parts of the Shell are back
to a scale factor of 1, while other apps still have larger fonts.
5. Change the text scaling factor to something else (like 1) and then
back to the desired number.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.5
6. Now the Shell does have large fonts, until step 3 is repeated.
