RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jonas Ådahl 2018-04-13 10:26:07 UTC
Description of problem:

With GNOME 3.26, the management of monitor scaling factors was moved from a global setting (managed either directly via the gsettings entry, or via GNOME Tweak Tool -> Window -> Scaling factor) to the Settings app. Changing this setting the old way is incompatible with how the scaling is managed in GNOME 3.26, so not having rebased GNOME Tweak Tool (which removed the scaling factor tweakability in 3.26) makes it easy to mess HiDPI support up.

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

gnome-tweak-tool-3.22.0-1.el7

Additional info:

Since the tweak tool doesn't allow to "reset" the scaling factor, to get rid of the problem after having tweaked, the user must change back the org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor setting to 0.
