Wrong scaling, menus unreadable

[Trond Thorbjørnsen]

Scaling of chromium is wrong. Tab-bar, location-bar, web pages are scaled up and menus are unreadable.

Duplcate of #1308598 and #1308596.

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

As a workaround, turn scaling to 1:1.

[Trond Thorbjørnsen (tthorb)]

The scaling is set at 1:1, but both web pages and the UI are scaled to 2:1.

The chromium settings menu is unreadable, as shown in the screendump, at all scales.

(Pop-up boxes work fine at all scales.)

I have also tried chromium with a guest user, with both openbox and kde. Same issue.

Chrome Versjon 35.0.1916.47 beta aura does not have the same issue.

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