Dear Maintainer, On a HiDPI screen unlock screen hardly usable. Screenshot is attached. This also happens in the backported version. Best wishes, John

Dear Maintainer, Cinnamon-screensaver is 3.0.1-1 New user is created and screenshot is attached. Still unusable - half of window at bottom left. Best wishes, John
Hola John Kirk! If possible, it would be nice if you could just reply to the emails you get, so that they show up as part of the same conversation for us. When you do the "Followup-For" they create new conversations and make it hard to follow which mails belong to which issues. That screenshot is confusing, is that all that was on the screen? Or did it somehow get cut? Could you take a screenshot (for this same dummy user) that shows the Display tool? Also, can you attach the output of xrandr? Finally, is HiDPI getting selected automatically or have you selected manually?
Quoting Margarita Manterola <marga@debian.org>: the 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 : https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2016/09/msg00026.html Best wishes, John ------------------------------------------------- 75% of Americans don't like Clinton or Trump.

Quoting john.kirk@vfemail.net: Hello, I can confirm that the bug is still in testing (as of today). Screenshot 2. Looks like it thinks that the display is 4 times bigger and shows only 1/4.

This bug was reported in 2016 against the old Clutter/C-based cinnamon-screensaver (3.0.x), whose unlock screen computed the monitor geometry by hand -- the cause of the "display 4 times bigger" HiDPI scaling described here. That code was replaced by a full rewrite (upstream commit 6794939, "all: Rewrite in python", first released in the 3.4 series). The current cinnamon-screensaver (6.6.1) sizes each window from Gdk per-monitor geometry and honours GTK's native scale factor, so the issue no longer applies. Closing accordingly. Thanks for the report.
