Bug Description

After updating im-config to version 0.44-1ubuntu1.1 the top bar is shown with very large text and the login screen is zoomed. After doing several updating-restoring tests I have identified that the problem package is im-config. It only happens to me with the nvidia rtx 2060 card and 440 driver. When I connect my monitor to the intel integrated graphics, the problem is solved.

Will it be a conflict between the nvidia drivers and im-config?

Thanks for your report.

It sounds very odd to me that im-config would have anything to do with the issue you are having. Especially the latest change, which only was a tiny change to a .desktop file.

Does the problem disappear if you downgrade to version 0.44-1ubuntu1?

Btw, let's simply disable im-config to test:

* Open Language Support and select "none" as the Keyboard input method system

* Reboot

Thanks, I just tried disabling im-config and the problem actually seems to persist. Investigating I have observed that the problem resides in the dependencies "GObject data for mutter" and "Windows manager library from mutter" that uses im-config (or at least it is visually inside im-config in the graphical ubuntu updater. It is when updating these two packages when the problem appears, if I restore those two packages it solves.

This kind of issue is way over my head, but given what you just wrote we now know that it's not im-config related. Changing the affected package to mutter, so the developers who work with that package can take a look.

affects: im-config (Ubuntu) → mutter (Ubuntu)
