menu/bookmark fonts too small after update to 56.0.2924.76 (64-bit)

Reported by vkr...@gmail.com, Jan 26 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.76 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Update to v56 from whatever was the previous stable release (54?)
2. Start google-chrome with --high-dpi-support=1 --force-device-scale-factor=1.

Other scale factors (1.04, 1.1, 1.5, 2) instantly increase the size of the fonts to several times the expected size.

3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Fonts are normal sized - same as in other GTK apps. See attached screenshot.

What went wrong?
Regression of workarounds from:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=498426#c79

Expected font sizes, etc are in the above comment.

Did this work before? Yes 54

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.76  Channel: stable
OS Version: openSUSE Leap 42.2
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

This seems to be getting broken all the time in google-chrome.

Reverting to Version 55.0.2883.87 (64-bit) restores expected font sizes.

Same problem here with Chrome 56 (screenshot attached). Works as expected with Chrome 55.

Tested in chrome #56.0.2924.76 and canary #58.0.2997.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and not able to reproduce the issue.Please find the screen shots for your reference.

@vkrevs: Could you please let me know if i have missed anything and if possible, please check in latest build #58.0.2997.0 with new profile without extensions and let us know the behavior of the issue which would help us to triage the issue further.

Thanks in Advance.

@rbasuvula: where do I get #58.0.2997.0 for an rpm-based system like openSUSE?

Same problem for me on Ubuntu 16.10 - https://imgur.com/KSJmY5I - fonts usede to be too big, now they're too small.  Version 56.0.2924.87

Comment 13 by customer...@xtremebikeandsport.com, Feb 6 2017 

From #687080:

Launching Chrome with the `--force-device-scale-factor=1` flag seems to at least temporarily fix the problem.

Comment 14 by vkr...@gmail.com, Feb 6 2017 

The "--force-device-scale-factor=1" does have any effect for me with  56.0.2924.76

Comment 15 by jonra...@gmail.com, Feb 7 2017 

"--force-device-scale-factor=1" works for me, although it just returns Chrome to the state where the fonts are too big, as it was before - i.e. slightly bigger than the system font defined for window titles
