** Description changed:

  After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04,
  the HiDPI setting(Scale for menu and title bars)
  is being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while,
  making everything looks small.
  
  If the display sleeps and I resume it instantly, it's fine,
  but if the display slept for long, the HiDPI setting gets reset to 1.
  
  My guess is that if a display is plugged in(detected), the old DPI
  setting is not restored.
  
  This issue is not present on previous Ubuntu versions
  and the same issue persists even after a fresh install.
  
+ *---------------------------------*
+ This bug is now present also in 16.04 since a recent update, experiencing this in Xenial since 23 Feb 2018 at least. We could trace the cause of the bug in the recent backports/bugfix updates to Xenial.
