Linux: text and display size/resolution substantially smaller on Chrome 50

Project Member Reported by viettaml@google.com, Apr 15 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.75 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://www.google.com/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. On Linux (I've observed on both Ubuntu Trusty and Wily), possibly with high(er) DPI displays...
2. Open any web page on Chrome 50.
3. Observe the page and text are noticeably smaller than they were in 49 or earlier.

What is the expected behavior?
Text and web pages should display at the same size/resolution they did in Chrome 49.

What went wrong?
To my subjective eyes, things are now too small. I know this can be corrected by changing the default zoom level, but figured I should report this issue first in case it's a regression and not WAI.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 49 and earlier

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu Trusty
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0
