Error still present after update for me.

Two 3840x2160 screens - one a DELL XPS 15 laptop screen which is half
the physical size of my BenQ monitor.

Using NVIDIA driver metapackage 440.

With fractional scaling, if I set the inbuilt monitor to 150%, the
EXTERNAL monitor seems to half its visible resolution, quadrupling its
virtual screen size, so only the top left corner is actually displayed
on the monitor.
