Public bug reported:

When booting, unity loads the desktop partially with double the correct
size (default setting: scale factor 2, but it loads as if scale factor
4). The launcher, dash, application switcher appear too big while the
panel and applications themselves have correct size.

After some seconds the screen turns black, the wallpaper appears 4 times
and then the wallpaper appears at correct size as well as launcher,
dash, application switcher and panel. However, the desktop icons and the
window content of gtk3 applications appears too small (as with scale
factor 1). This is only true for gtk3 applications, not gtk2, Wine, XUL,
Qt, VCL. Also, unity panel uses incorrect (strong) font hinting while
font hinting is correct in the rest of the system. Unity dash uses
partially a fallback sans serif font instead of Ubuntu font and
incorrect character kerning.

This is similar as bug #1398208.
