Desktop (nautilus) text no longer scales to HiDPI with the rest of the system. Stays small.

Nautilus text no longer scales to HiDPI with the rest of the desktop. Stays small.

(following recent updates/reinstall of yakkety)

Thank you for your bug report, what nautilus package version do you have? When did the issue start? What text are you speaking about, does it concern preference dialog, menus, icon or list view...?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The desktop text; it's tiny on a hiDPI (scale = 2.0) display.

Latest yakkety image from yesterday.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

does it change at all if you move the scaling slider in settings?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Nope. Everything other than the desktop (nautilus) font changes.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Laney said he couldn't reproduce ... does it make any difference if you restart nautilus?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Yep, the bug seems to have gone away now. I had seen it on a couple of yakkety systems though :S

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

wonder if that's depending of the order in which the processes start, it might be fixed once the systemd for user session work is completed

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Carlos Pita (carlosjosepita)]

This seems to be very old. I'm not seeing this at all in Gnome 3.32, Ubuntu 19.04, neither in mid-dpi screens (with fractional scaling or font scaling) nor in retina like screens (with 2x scaling).

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Nautilus isn't used for the desktop in 19.04. So this bug should remain open for Ubuntu 18.04 (if it still applies).
