Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.16 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Start Chrome 2. Observe the large UI 3. What is the expected behavior? UI should respect Windows DPI settings correctly. What went wrong? THis is a regression, the Chrome UI is twice as large after updating to the latest beta. Adding the "/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" start parameter fixes the issue. Did this work before? Yes Previous Beta version. Chrome version: 54.0.2840.16 Channel: beta OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0 Adding the "/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" start parameter fixes the issue.

I assume you're talking about 125% scaling. This was changed intentionally. See bug 410696 .

The bug you mentioned talks about how everything is too small. In this bug, everything is too big at 125%. Does this mean that Chrome has now started respecting 125% scaling (rather than the opposite?)

Correct. Chrome now respects 125% scaling.

Ok. But then it looks very very wrong on 125% compared to other Windows apps that look presentable and readable at 125% on a 14 inch 1080p panel. |
