Bug 219202 – Transient quarter display with a HiDPI /4k screen and a 200% scaling

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Frédéric Parrenin]

I use epiphany on debian/bullseye XPS13 laptop with a 4k screen.
In gnome, I set the scaling to 200% so that everything does not appear too small.
In epiphany, I sometimes get a transient display where the webpage is displayed on the top-left quarter of the window.
Then, after a fraction of a second, the webpage is scaled to the entire window.
So, I was wondering if this is due to the scaling and if it would possible to scale the display earlier in the process.
