[Bug 1022830] New: Firefox no longer honoring system-wide DPI settings nor KDE mouse cursor
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022830 Bug ID: 1022830 Summary: Firefox no longer honoring system-wide DPI settings nor KDE mouse cursor Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: guillaume.lang@pipot.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After updating (updates spanning roughly the 20170127-20170131 time period, including an update to Firefox), Firefox no longer honors the system-wide DPI settings, nor does it use the KDE cursor. The DPI settings have been set in '/etc/sddm.conf': [XDisplay] ... ServerArguments=-dpi 192 ... The KDE mouse cursor has been set using the KDE settings. It seems no other application is having issues (tested: KDE, Inkscape, Gimp). Creating a new user with new .mozilla/GTK/... config files does not solve the issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

From what I read it seems to be a Gtk(3) decision to ignore X dpi settings?
I have to say that I have a hard time finding out the correct place to fix. To compare with other Gtk3 based applications probably use evince (because I know offhand that this is Gtk3 (while for example I think gimp is not yet).

Indeed, this appears GTK-related: Evince uses a tiny font size, consistent with that used by Firefox. However: - Cursor inside the window: Evince = KDE cursor as long as no specific area (such as frame resizing) imposes a change in cursor. Firefox = not KDE - Cursor on a window corner: Evince = not KDE Firefox = KDE cursor - Main window title bar: Evince = tiny (height, window title, icons) Firefox = normal Strangely enough, Evince's 'About' window has a title bar of normal size. PARTIAL WORK-AROUND In '~/.Xresources': Xft.dpi: 192 => font size: ok for Firefox and Evince. => Evince title bar: normal height, normal window title, but still tiny icons including the minimize/maximize/close icons. => no changes for the cursor situation (unsurprisingly). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

ESR (built with GTK2) and Konq obey UI font settings. GTK3 builds do not. Problem escalates rapidly as DE's logical DPI is increased, and applies to 42.2 as well unless before upgrading from 42.1 libgtk-3-0 is first locked down to 42.1's 3.16.7 or installing 42.1's libgtk-3-0 in 42.2. Regression is the same in KDE3 and TDE. Another upstream bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367499 open usability regression: GTK+>3.16.x results in too small GTK3 app UI fonts when logical DPI>96 Why not apply the libgtk-3-0 patch in the Gnome bug? There doesn't seem to be any need for the patch that created the problem in the first place. As I've seen this on Debian and Fedora too, and per the comments in the mozilla.org bug, this is obviously not an exclusively openSUSE bug, but that shouldn't stop openSUSE users from having the regression addressed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

PARTIAL WORK-AROUND In '~/.Xresources': Xft.dpi: 192
The problem exists because libgtk >3.16 forces Xft.dpi to 96 if null, because of the commit referred to in both comment 1 bugs. KDE's "Force fonts DPI:" in systemsettings does the forcing by setting Xft.dpi, so there is a workaround that doesn't require changing .Xresources, but either workaround must be manually updated and session restarted with every display change instead of having the server's DPI automatically used. KDE3 and TDE also force DPI by setting Xft.dpi non-null. Mouse pointer here gets larger over GTK3 Mozillas than it is over other windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The expedient fix for Leap users of KDE, KDE3, TDE, and possibly other DEs, is probably reverting GTK 3.20 in 42.2 to 42.1's GTK 3.16. I've done so in all my 42.2 installations that had been fresh installations without any apparent ill effects. On my 42.2 installations that were upgrades from 42.1, I set zypper locks libgtk-3*, gtk3-dat*, gtk3-lan*, gtk3-too* before upgrading to produce the same effect. Longer term it seems like one solution would be something that on X session startup discovers its DPI, then sets the previously optional Xft.dpi xrdb variable to that value. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please note that this does affect Leap 42.2 right now.
http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html is URI used in screenshot's browser windows. This screenshot shows that 42.2 can be heavily affected by not having Xft.dpi explicitly set to match Xorg's display density. At upper right, Firefox ESR45 built with GTK2 is using the same size 10 UI fonts as apps not built with GTK3. Below ESR45 are 52.0.1 and SeaMonkey 2.52a1 built with GTK3, which are using 42.2-standard GTK 3.20.10-3.1, and displaying vastly undersized UI fonts. The latter appear to be size 7.27pt, or the UI specified size 10pt times 96 divided by 132, the result of GTK 3 needlessly forcing Xft.dpi to 96 in a 132 DPI environment where xrdb's Xft.dpi is null. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Raising priority, reverting this patch has only a very low chance of breaking anything (only effective in non-96-DPI situations anyway) and should fix DPI of GTK apps on X11.
