I was getting some inconsistent and confusing results on my tests, so I decided to start from scratch with a fresh VM (qemu) and also a fresh Workspace (AWS).
In a freshly installed Jammy VM (on qemu, not AWS), out of the box we have factional scaling disabled, so I tried changing scale to 200% and I do hit the error (but the scale DOES change):

When I try to revert, I hit the error again and gnome freezes:
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/nYpqJDmr5 x/
I then upgraded the packages in the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vanvugt/mutter
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Rebooted the VM
When I still hit the error both when trying to change the scale to 200% (still does change it, though):
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/V7MmKCjc4 W/
And also when trying to revert it (gnome freezes):
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/dbWZFQGr9 t/
Package versions:

Also did the same tests with a fresh Workspace:
Tested the very same thing in a Workspace:
Out of the box fractional scaling is disabled, so I tried changing scale to 200% and I hit the error (but it does change):
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/gSZ5rfm7v F/
When I try to revert, I hit the error and then it causes the problem reported in https:/ /launchpad. net/bugs/ 1924689:
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/NHY62YvxC G/
(So both Workspaces and local VM hit the same problem, but when reverting Workspaces will hit LP#1924689 and the local VM will freeze gnome)
I then rebooted the Workspace without upgrading any package and tried the same steps again, and I still have the same problem.
I then upgraded the packages in the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vanvugt/mutter
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Rebooted the Workspace, and I still hit the error both when trying to change the scale to 200% (still does change it, though):
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/977wzx6sx W/
And when I try to revert:
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/D2VZv2J7Q V/
Packages:
https:/ /pastebin. ubuntu. com/p/mDKy4wWyW Z/
So, unless I'm missing something, apparently the same problem happens with fractional scaling disabled and also with the packages from the PPA.
