Package: cinnamon
Version: 2.8.6-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I install upgrades on my Debian testing laptop every workday evening.
When I booted it today, all fonts and other desktop elements had
become almost unreadably tiny on my HiDPI screen (a Lenovo X1 Carbon
with a 2560x1440 pixel built-in display).
Before, Cinnamon had been the only desktop environment I could find
with working automatic desktop scaling. After digging in the settings
menu for a while, I found a workaround in “Einstellungen > Allgemein >
Schreibtischskalierung” (German locale; i.e. “settings > general >
desktop scaling” when translated back): Switching from “automatic” to
“double (HiDPI)” fixed things for me after logging out and in again.
The built-in screen looks as before. I have not yet tried this setting
with an external screen.
Thanks for your attention and dedication!
Christian
