Description of problem:
after a recent F24 update text and icons in the gnome top bar are oversized. Can't get it back to regular size in any way (playing with HiDPI factor, font scaling..).
Note that 'regular' text (terminal, menus...) is not affected (see screenshot).
Also: if I change the resolution from the native 1920x1200 to eg. 1600x1200, everything is fine. If I change it back, it's fine for 1 s and then the top bar text size pops into oversize mode.
I only have this problem on one of my 4 F24 machines (incidentally the only one with a touch screen..)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell 3.20.4

it got even worse after an upgrade to F25 beta and Gnome on Wayland. In the end I could fix it by running

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 1

(the same setting in gnome-tweak-tool didn't work).
