Latest Chrome beta broke DPI scaling. THe UI is now too large.

Reported by nachiket...@gmail.com, Sep 9 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: 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.
