Pixelated fonts sometimes

[Joe Barnett]

Running under wayland, with fractional scaling enabled and set to 175% on laptop screen, 100% on external screen, sometimes windows like nautilus or the file chooser get pixelated fonts (see screenshot). Seen this mostly on the 100% external screen, and it goes away if maximizing the window or moving the window back and forth between screens a few times.

I feel this is probably going to be related to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/804

[Joe Barnett (thejoe)]

agree that mutter#804 is the upstream issue

Marking as rls-ee-notfixing. This doesn't mean that this bug won't get fixed, but that it won't block release if it is not fixed in time.
