Morning. The zoom value is not changed to 120% (however that is actually what it is). When I open Chrome normally I get this, see attachemnt "chrome-opened-normally."

When I open Chrome using a shortcut icon, with this modified file path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1, I get this, see "chrome-opened-shortcut."

In both cases the "zoom" value is shown as 100%, however in the "normal" screenshot you can see that the zoom is a much higher value than when opened via the shortcut link (the shortcut link corrects the issue).


Unfortunately I don't know how else to recreate the issue. It does appear that other users are experiencing this issue though - https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/57fp4b/are_iconsspacing_in_the_bookmarks_bar_in_chrome/

These users are also experiencing the zoom being 20% higher (even though the zoom value is displayed at 100%).

Please let me know if there's any other information you'd like me to give you.

This was changed intentionally so that Chrome is in proportion with the rest of Windows' UI. There is more context in  bug 410696 , but the summary is that scales factors of 125% and below were disabled back in M37 due to various bugs. But we've since improved a lot of the issues that were causing trouble back then.

Note that the system scale factor is different than the page zoom level. If your system's scale factor is at 125% for example, then a zoom level of 100% will leave that unchanged. If you change the zoom level to 80%, then those two will multiply together and the webpage size will be similar to what's shown when both values are at 100%.

If you would like to change your system's scaling to 100% instead:

On Windows 7, go to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display ("Make text and other items larger or smaller") and click the radio button next to "Smaller"

On Windows 10, go to Settings>System>Display and drag the slider underneath "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" so that it reads 100%.
