Description Kamil Páral 2023-10-04 07:29:32 UTC

The issue is described in upstream here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3057

I'd like to request a freeze exception to pull in the mutter patch. The reason is that we've had the fractional scaling enabled during F39 development, and if people enabled it, let's say to 125%, and later it got disabled again, those people now have distorted text. The text is just slightly off, but off enough to make your feel "there's something not right, this is harder to read for some reason". I believe it's fair to fix their text rendering asap, and not in some distant future, when a new mutter version is released (and hopefully updated in F39).
