Description Porygon 2019-03-12 20:12:16 UTC

If screen scale was set using gnome settings menu, setting orientation with xrandr seems to overwrite this although it does not overwrite resolution settings. It also does not overwrite if scale is set using xrandr.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libXrandr-1.5.1-7.el8.x86_64
RHEL-8.0.0-20190228.1 (RC-1.0)

Steps to Reproduce: 

 1. open Settings -> Devices -> Display in gnome-shell
 2. set scale to 200% on primary monitor
 3. open a terminal
 4. execute xrandr -o right



Actual results: 
 
 1. screen rotates, scale is reset
 

Expected results:

 1. screen rotates without affecting scale or resolution

The scale also resets from 200% to 100% when the virtual machine window is resized on a Mac running rhel-8 in Vmware Fusion
