I get this every time I click on the "show details" button of the
"application has crashed" dialog that pops up when I log in.  If you
need an example.

Title:
  resizing loop on high-dpi screen

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the global scaling factor is set to 2, some dialogs occasionally
  start changing their window size causing very high CPU activity.

  This occurs for example in dconf-editor while searching: It appears dconf-editor tries to adjust the window dimensions to the size of the content and reduces the window size until it is unusable. This causes very high CPU activity and freezes the window content.
  It also happens when (then) resizing the window width (→) or height (↓) afterwards, it tries to revert to the previous window size. However, the only way to resize the window back so that it doesn't reduce its size is by dragging the window corner (↓→).

  This issue happens also in other applications, for example in apport-
  dialogs when expanding the collapsed details view.

  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
