Thanks for pointing that out. That sounds relevant to bug 1885026 and this one...
In the case of this bug it explains why the fractional scaling value is not persisted -- because the virtual monitor resolution has changed. Mutter considers that a different display configuration and so won't keep any old settings from it. You can see this as a separate block in your ~/.config/monitors.xml ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Summary changed: - Fractional scaling not persisted in VMware Player + Fractional scaling does not persist across reboots in resizable VM windows -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884754 Title: Fractional scaling does not persist across reboots in resizable VM windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1884754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
