Gnome-Shell large window borders

[Robert Parkhurst]

I installed Ubuntu 16.10 and then installed Cinnamon DE. I have since wanted to go back to gnome. To install gnome, I installed "gnome-shell" and "gnome-shell-extensions*" from the stock Ubuntu repositories.

When I login, icons look to be the right size, but gtk3 windows seems to double the size of my mouse, the window borders are double the size, etc.

screenshot of desktop. I changed the theme to the Arc theme, but you can see that the icons look fine but the overlay menu bar on top is very large.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better.

The screenshot looks a bit odd. Do you have multiple monitors connected? Do you have the same problem if you restart with just one monitor? Did you change the scaling factor for a very high resolution screen?
