Hello,

The follow-ups have been done by the report bug tool. Probably a bug is
here since i used the reply button.

The screenshot was cut for reducing the size. It shows the full bottom left
corner of the screen (second screenshot from this bug report).

Now i can't take a screenshot from Debian testing (removed), but the config
is the same so there are 2 screenshots from Debian stable + backported
Cinnamon. I think they are actual since the bug is also here (1 screenshot
from this bug report).

HiDPI works from installation so it is selected automatically. User
interface scaling option is set to Auto.

I also ask you to consider this bug :

Best wishes,
John
