[Bug 1339629] Re: Dash Previews don't scale correctly when the scale factor changes

 

The previews scale correctly hovewer it seems that overlay scrollbars
are not working. I can't scroll the descriptions using them but mouse
scroll wheel works.

Also the overlay scrollbars work when scaling is set to value ranging
from 0.5 to 1.38. They stop working for me from 1.5 and up to 2.

I also don't have a HiDPI monitor so I only checked on regular one 16:9
1920x1080.

  Dash Previews don't scale correctly when the scale factor changes

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When scaling is set to a value different to 1.0 and the user performs a dash search and right clicks a result, the Preview is always rendered with scale factor 1.0.

  [Test case]
  1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat
     different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice).
  2. Open the dash, [search something], right click over a result
  3. The preview items should respect the previously set monitor scaling

  [Regression potential]
  This is a big change that involved lots of changes in the unity dash code, although we
  didn't notice any regression due to this change. At the contrary we improved a lot the old code we worked on. Although it's still possible that some component of the dash previews might be hidden/distorted or not shown as it used to be.
