Comment 72 for bug 1870736

Running into this on a single 4k monitor with 125%, which worked well on
19.10. Now with 20.04, every time I click on 125% it will show the “zoomed
in” portion of the screen instead (so when I move mouse to the edges of the
screen, it “slides” the viewport towards that instead). In addition, it
doesn’t preserve the 125% setting as others mentioned. Using proprietary
Nvidia driver.
