Bug#1121719: mutter: xwayland-native-scaling broken

Package: mutter
Version: 49.2-1
Severity: normal


Dear Maintainer,
since the update of mutter to v49.2, the experimental dconf feature "xwayland-
native-scaling" has been broken. Instead of either displaying X11 apps properly
scaled or not scaled at all, they show up scaled very small, probably even
smaller than if the scaling factor of 1.25 was interpreted as 25 % smaller than
default. This affects any app that doesn't run in native Wayland mode,  though
I can only confirm it affecting GTK3 apps and the x11-apps, as I don't know of
any other apps that don't yet support Wayland natively. Disabling the feature
does fix things again. Since I've only found reports about this issue for
Debian, it may be a Debian-specific issue.

Best regards
Richard
