Hello, I recently put together a new PC and installed a fresh Ubuntu 20.04. Immediately I noticed that, on startup, there was a flashing cursor and the decryption password screen was unusually large, but the login screen and desktop GUI was fine, so I thought nothing of it. With a recent update, the decryption password screen and the login screen are now both sized improperly and the text on the GUI is abnormally sized. I have included an image of the GUI with the bug apparent. If I toggle the 'large text' in universal access on then off, the problem resolves, but this is a hassle and happens every startup. I did have issues with the display driver for the GPU on installation and this may be a contributor but I am not sure and I am also not sure where to begin in troubleshooting this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
