Details 
When moving window from hidpi monitor to the normal dpi monitor the fonts and ui stays big. Only the page content is resized.

The dynamic scaling is currently supported by upstream only in Wayland.

Bug 1431337 Scale widget size to the current monitor, not the first one;

We need to do this correcly.

return rootWidget->GetDefaultScale().scale uses GetDefaultScale() which returns layout.css.devPixelsPerPx or GetDefaultScaleInternal() which has different implementation on windows/gtk.

GetDefaultScaleInternal() on Windows:

monitorDPI/96.

GetDefaultScaleInternal() on Linux (roughly):

gdk_window_get_scale_factor(actual_screen) * gdk_screen_get_resolution(screen)/96
where screen is the default one (at gfxPlatformGtk).

That means this patch depends on which screen/monitor is the default one and messes it up when low/res monitors are used together. Also mixing gdk_window_get_scale_factor() and gdk_screen_get_resolution() is not correct.

Please implement nsWindow::GetDefaultScaleInternal() similarry to Windows where monitor(screen) DPI / 96 is returned.

This is already scaled so don't apply the scale again.

I've digged into it more to find out why the current patch works fine and figured out that this approach is actually correct. The nsWindow::GetDefaultScaleInternal [1] computes the scale as monitor scale factor * font scale factor.

The font scale factor is computed [2] from 
FontScaleDPI which is computed by gdk_screen_get_resolution() - in the description of the func is: *Gets the resolution for font handling on the screen*. This resolution is computed from user settings *Scaling factor*. 

So FontScaleDPI does not depend on the actual monitor dpi but on gsettings *org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor*. By default this value is 96, so font scaling is 1, it only jumps to 1.5 when the gtk settings of the scaling factor is more than 1.375.

I think we still want to scale widgets by 1.5x when the font scale factor > 1.375 because if user wants to have bigger fonts, they probably want to have bigger widgets.

You're right, but it works as expected when text-scaling-factor is 1. We can't base widget sizes on font sizes, it produces incompatibility with rest of the system. 

Please use the same approach for widget sizes as Gtk+ does - use the gdk_window_get_scale_factor() only (probably at GetDefaultScaleInternal()).

If user wants to override firefox scale it can be done by layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.

Also is ScreenHelperGTK::GetGTKMonitorScaleFactor() useful in any situation? If not it should be removed/replaced on all places.

I got it now, this can't be multiplied by scalefontfactor as long as this is relevant only for MS Windows.

I'm not going to agree with that, according to some measurement I just did, it needs to be scaled. Could you please clarify your statment?

We need to set scaling factor also for newly created buffers, right?

IMHO we also need to scale here when buffers are switched.

Karl, I need some help with the failing test. I find out the showing of chevron.svg (ie test failing) is because my patch is actually fixing font sizes for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx=2. See screenshot for demonstration. The chevron symbol is shown during startup because the urlbar with bigger font size is considered to be too short. Is it fine to remove chevron.svg from the whitelist for the linux platform?
Flags: needinfo?(jhorak) → needinfo?(karlt)
I assume the urlbar font is a system font.  If so, the font size in device
pixels is determined by the system.  On Wayland, I assume this depends on the
monitor, but it should be independent from the value of
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.  i.e. Changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx should not
change the appearance of system fonts.  (There is an outstanding bug
on the WINNT implementation.)

Similarly widgets that have sizes determined by the system should be
independent from layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.
(Icons that have sizes provided by Firefox CSS px rather than the system will
change size when layout.css.devPixelsPerPx changes.)

IIRC LookAndFeel returns a font size in device pixels.  I assume this will
need to be for a reference monitor (potentially the primary) and the caller
will adjust as appropriate for other monitors.

Or perhaps they are display pixels, which is equivalent to a reference monitor
with display pixels matching device pixels.  I don't recall what the reference
is.

Oh, is it? It seems to me that it is inconsistent ATM, if you look at the left part of screenshot the page content actually depends on devPixelsPerPx but the UI fonts does not. I supposed that devPixelsPerPx can be used to force 2x scaling for hidpi monitors. I've switched to Win 10 to check how things work there with devPixelsPerPx=2 and it seems everything is scaled 2x like in the patch I did. I'll attach screenshot later.

The left part of the screenshot is correct.
devPixelsPerPx defines how large a CSS pixel is, but the UI fonts are
the size of system fonts, which are not defined in CSS pixels.

> I supposed that devPixelsPerPx can be used to
> force 2x scaling for hidpi monitors.

Yes, that can be used to set the scaling of web content and that also happens
to affect UI elements that do not depend on system sizes.

But system fonts should still be the same size as system fonts.  If a user
wants to double the size of a CSS pixel, then they are likely to have already
doubled the size of system fonts, and so system font sizes should not be
doubled again.

If the goal is to change the size of everything, then GDK_SCALE and
GDK_DPI_SCALE can be used to scale the system fonts as well as the
size of CSS pixels when the devPixelsPerPx pref is at it's default of -1.
Scaling everything is not the purpose of devPixelsPerPx.

Yes, there is a bug on file for that.

I suggest to keep the recent patch and file a follow up bug. While it's not perfect it still dramatically improves Firefox experience for users with HiDPI (or semi-HiDPI) displays.

Thanks for clarification. Looking at the UI elements, when devPixelsPerPx is set, should we scale GTK UI elements as well (like scrollbars, etc)? Pre-patch behaviour is not to scale them (check the scrollbar on the screenshot).

I see, I saw it as a reference implementation for us.

For scrollbars and other UI elements where the sizes come from GTK APIs, sizes
should depend on the monitor scale but not devPixelsPerPx.  This provides that
native UI elements look like native UI elements.  The system theme and GTK
settings determine the sizes.

Some UI elements may be sized in CSS pixels, either because they do not have
native intrinsic or minimum sizes or because the size is provided by the
document.  Their sizes will depend devPixelsPerPx because the size of a CSS
pixel depends on devPixelsPerPx.

This is wayland only fix, does not apply to standard X11 builds provided by Mozilla.

    
    

    
  
Doesn't work for me with 60.0~b11+build2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 installed from the Beta PPA. I'm on Wayland.

    
    

    
  
This seems to have regressed for me in Firefox 64.0.2...



    
    

    
  
Hmm, also seems broken if I downgrade to 62.0.3... I could have sworn that it worked fine recently. Perhaps something else changed on my system (like XWayland)...?



    
    

    
  
Also broken for me using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with Wayland.

I tried using 64.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 and 66.0a1hg20190128r455577-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~umd1
