is it just the login screen? or does it happen after login too? (In reply to Ray Strode [halfline] from comment #2) > is it just the login screen? or does it happen after login too? Can't really tell. I've only seen it on the login screen, but on my physical laptop I don't use the gnome shell, so I can't compare. I can try to check it in the VM though. Okay, compared two virtual machines, 7.0 and 7.1, when logged in. The difference in rendering does *not* seem to affect that environment; ie. it looks to be specific to the login screen. Huh, I just clicked the "Show other bugs" link near the top, which led me to believe that bug 1174223 might be a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1174223 *** bug 1174223 is private. Could someone update the status of this bug in this Discussion thread? https://access.redhat.com/comment/900903 |
(I'm fairly sure I'm reporting this problem for the wrong component. Also, I'm setting prio/sev to low/low up-front. It's just that I think this should be reported *somewhere*. and it would be nice to get an analysis and/or fix.) So the issue is, after upgrading my RHEL-7 laptop to 7.1 over the weekend, I noticed that the small text labels on the gdm login screen ("Not listed?", "Password", "Cancel" etc) look worse. I can't quite put my finger on the difference, but the characters look jagged. I think there's some regression with antialiasing.
