I must have forgotten the video that illustrates the issue.
It is happening with other dialog boxes in other applications as well, although I don't know to which package/component the bug belongs.

Title:
  resizing loop on high-dpi screen

Status in “d-conf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When the global scaling factor is set to 2, dconf-editor occasionally
  starts changing its window size causing very high CPU activity.

  This occurs for example while searching: It appears dconf-editor tries to adjust the window dimensions to the size of the content.
  It also happens when (then) resizing the window afterwards, it tries to revert to the previous window size. This causes very high CPU activity and freezes the window content.

  This does not happen when the global scaling factor is set to 1. It
  could be related to the new window resizing method that updates the
  window content.

  org.gnome.desktop.interface.scaling-factor = 2
  org.gnome.desktop.interface.text-scaling-factor = 1.0
