Font scaling factor not respected after each login

[Lyubomir]

I have GNOME Tweaks. I've set a font scaling factor of 1.25 and it used to work for months, not since about a week after every login the font looks small, although if i open Tweaks and take a look at the scaling factor setting it still shows 1.25. If i change it to 1.24 and then back to 1.25 it is fixed until next logout/login. I've already tried disabling extensions and on logout/login it is still the same issue.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

yes, same here, it always worked, now it doesn't anymore, probably after latest mutter update

Just because of curiosity, i created a new profile to use with Wayland (wanted to refresh) - issue was not happening there. Also i noticed that in my old account if i use Wayland it was not happening. I deleted my old account so i cannot verify anymore if this is fixed. I don't know the internals so if mutter is only used for X11 then excuse me for mentioning.
