layout suddenly off

Reported by maventre...@gmail.com, Sep 17 2016

         IE: PASS/FAIL (Version)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1)open chrome
(2)
(3)

What is the expected result?
normal layout and sizing of the top section of chrome, everything has become larger, the font looks different. 

What happens instead?
sizing and layout looks off

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

I have checked and chrome is at regular zoom, no extensions are causing this. this started after coming back from a meal and starting chrome.
 
Same issue, I didn't make any changes to chrome, but now my icons and the text in the address bar is much much smaller than before.
It seems to be a DPI issue. I've always had issues with Chrome on my high-dpi displays, and it seems as of right now Chrome is forcing high-dpi mode (?) regardless of the Windows setting. It also can't be changed with the dpi compatibility flag in the chrome.exe's properties.

bsep@ is this another issue related to enabling DSF on Windows?

#3: Without more information I assume so.

This was changed intentionally, chrome now renders correctly at 125% device scaling. See  bug 410696  for more context. I understand that this is a somewhat jarring change and I apologize.

If you feel your desktop's UI is too large you can change your device scaling by going to Start>Settings>System>Display>"Change the size of text, apps, and other items". If there are specific issues with the change feel free to file another bug.
