Initial zoom level is slightly under 100%

[tomdryer]

When opening an image, the zoom level is displayed as 100%, but the image is visibly blurry from being slightly zoomed out. There are a few pixels of black bar on the right and left edges of the image. Expanding the window vertically lets the image display at 1:1 zoom.

This occurs with images that should be small enough to be displayed at 100% zoom. For example: a 960x540 image on a 1920x1080 display.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I can't reproduce the issue with High Contrast theme. Adding light-themes task here.

This bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Unity 7.3.1, eog 3.12.2-0ubuntu2, with both default Ambiance GTK theme and with Radiance GTK theme. Also here, the bug is not present with High Contrast GTK theme.

It looks like it's no longer reproducible on vivid. I'm not sure where exatly it's fixed.

I can confirm that this is indeed not reproducible in current Ubuntu 15.04 daily.

I have a similar zoom issue with Ubuntu 17.10 (Xorg).
Since I have a HiDPI display, I use the 200% scaling option and assume that this might be correlated with the issue.

When I open a screenshot of 1246x878px, it is displayed in EOG at about the correct size, however is looks anti-aliased and EOG says it is 50% zoom and not 100%.
Shotwell shows a similar behavior, Gimp and RawTherapee work fine.
