Works fine for me on Windows-10, latest canary(54.0.2805.0). Fonts are rendered fine @ device-pixel-ratio of 1/1.5/2.5. pchazal@: Could you please check this in new user profile or in profile without any extensions and all the flags reset to default. Please update the observation here.

Absolutely the same with the new version and a new profile without extensions Screenshots : (1) stable version to compare (2) and (3) Canary new version (4) Canary new version with a new profile without extensions This bug is a recurrent one and it occurs several times and not only with Canary Cf here http://superuser.com/questions/803601/text-size-suddenly-got-bigger-on-all-sites-on-google-chrome And I repeat this known bug can be provisionally fixed adding /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 to the commande line in the icon (or a copy of the icon)

This is about the UI being larger (see screenshot in original report) not the fonts on the page itself. As for the screenshots in comment 6 the "size-stable-1.JPG" image is zoomed in (browser zoom).

And I agree for UI

Was reported on #chromium too. Looks like we got rid of the special case for 125 recently. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/9ab8b8c345e668ae0932c162810604ea4eb7bc42 (and issue 410696 ).

This is intended when the device scale is 125% (previously Chrome would be drawn at 100% regardless). If you would like you change your device scale in Windows 10 please go to Start>Settings>System>Display and modify the slider. Please note that you may need to log out or restart your computer after modifying that setting.

Ah OK... Thks for explanation
,

I have changed the scale from 125% to 100% and logged off and on again, everything was smaller but Chromium (54.0.2819.0) was *still* *bigger* than usual. I compared with version 45.0.*.0 but forgot to take a screenshot. I am also on a localized version Windows, but Windows 7. Please tell me if you want me to: 1 - bisect on 100% DPI scale 2 - bisect on 125% DPI scale 3 - Take a screenshot at 100% DPI scale 4 - Take a screenshot at 125% DPI scale Regards, LLoyd

(the session must be closed and re-open, not Windows)

pcha...@gmail.com, can you please give me the exact version number? I don't have stable/canary in Chromium so I can't know what you are testing with... Also, what do you mean by "not Windows"? Regards, LLoyd

I mean : when you change the scale, you must reboot only he session (the user), not the system. Canary = Google Chrome 54.0.2820.0 (Build officiel) canary (64 bits) Révision 41f9e395f017af1d8c3c2b51f13e404445ba5f07-refs/heads/master@{#409955} Stable = Google Chrome 52.0.2743.82 (Build officiel) m (64 bits) Révision 49721773c8dd62828e471ca69e2c89767f98c690-refs/branch-heads/2743@{#670}

A detail about Chromium : in my Linux distribution, Manjaro (like in the others), there is a Chromium with (among others) the Chrome stable version. These Chromium are maintained and modified by the distribution and I don't know if the security fixes are incorporated as in stable Chrome In Windows, there was a "continuous" channel but it no longer exists (last update in March). Only the "Snapshot" channel remains. Anyway, nowadays, Windows 10 blocks the execution of mini_installer.exe

Hello Isn't there an "about:flags" parameter to enable/disable this ?

I have updated to Chromium 54.0.2828.0 (from 54.0.2819.0) and the issue I mentioned in Comment #21 has been fixed. pcha...@gmail.com no, I've read the commit diff, and there is no flag to prevent this. I would recommend going back to a 100% DPI as higher values are meant for people who actually want bigger "everything". Alternatively, you could create a flag for this yourself... or simply a fork (checkout master, revert 9ab8b8c345e668ae0932c162810604ea4eb7bc42, build). Important to note is that the design changed (since 45.0.*) and we now have a few pixels less to display the page contents (see attached screenshots).

Thks but I keep my 125% : now I have the explanation and I corrected my zoom Remarks : there is no longer (or nearly) any difference between Chrome and FF interface !
,
Aug 12 2016
pcha...@gmail.com, how did you correct your zoom? The inverse of 125% is 80% and you can only set your default zoom to 75% or 90%... I modified the settings page HTML to add the 80% value to the dropdown list and it worked, but I wonder if there is another way... I'll see if I keep this 125%+80% combo or not because it will definitely cause problems: the drawings will be big and then we will zoom out, so it is bound to cause display glitches, see for example the attached dropdown menu screenshot which is missing its right 1px-wide border... Regards, LLoyd

My zooms : they are customizable site by site Ctrl - (smaller) : repeat until you have the good size (Ctrl + (bigger)) I "adapted Chrome to the adaptation". Before, it was not sensible to the scale (here 125%) now it is. So I had to re-do the zooms |
