Bug Description
(upstream bug: https:/
My screen is 3000x2000. I use a scaling factor of 2x. Today I upgraded to 19.10 and chromium became a snap package. It launches at the right scaling factor, but if I restart gnome shell (Alt-F2 r) it rescales to 1x (I believe) and everything becomes absurdly tiny. Restarting chromium afterwards restores the right scaling factor.

Thanks for the report Carlos. From your description, it sounds like this is a regression, i.e. restarting gnome-shell with a running instance of chromium packaged as a deb would not rescale to 1x. Is that correct?
