SUMMARY
Setting display to 100% global scale is resulting in a terrible experience. I
had global scale set to 100% prior to encountering this bug so I'm confident
this is not what it is supposed to look like at 1080p.
Potentially useful info, not sure if necessary to reproduce: I've a 1080p
laptop monitor, I've always used external 1080p monitors without hassle. This
time I connected my laptop to a 4K TV. I quickly realized the default scaling
(100%) looks terrible at 4K, so I opened display configuration, tried to set it
to 200% or 300%, and clicked "apply". It then showed the popup saying changes
would only take effect after a reboot, so I reverted it back to 100%, applied
settings, and disconnected the display because I was just testing. Since
rebooting, I haven't connected my laptop to the TV anymore, but as you can see,
100% scale is just blatantly wrong.
I've rebooted several times since, having set the global scale back to 100% on
the GUI, but the issue persists, making it borderline unusable. Thankfully,
values higher than 100% still scale as expected, so I've been using 106.25%
which is the closest I can get to what I'm used to.
OBSERVED RESULT
100% global scale looks absurdly large at 1080p (see attachment).
EXPECTED RESULT
100% global scale looks similar to 106.25% at 1080p (see attachment).
