Lock screen fractional scaling issue #10998

 * Cinnamon 5.4.9
   - NOT daily builds PPA (sorry, I did not have time to test that)
 * Linux Mint 21
 * Intel Corporation TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe Graphics] (Intel Core i7-1165G7) *and* i915 driver
 * 64 bit

Issue
The display flashes and resizes / re-scales abruptly when going to and from lock screen. I believe the fractional scaling that I am using is the problem. If 150% display scaling is used the lock screen will be scaled to 200%. As a result, when locking and unlocking the computer the image abruptly resizes as it jumps from 150% to 200% scaling and back. Not a big deal, but definitely distracting. If 100% or 200% display scaling is used -- lock screen also uses 100% or 200% respectively. Any fractional scaling like 125%, 150%, 175% results in the same problem.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Setup 150% fractional scaling by going to System Settings > Display
  2. Lock the screen (for example, using Ctrl + Alt + L shortcut)
  3. Observe how the screen flashes and resizes. Lock screen is at 200% scaling.
  4. Type in the password and login
  5. Observe how the screen image becomes smaller than the screen, and then abruptly resizes to fit the screen

Expected behaviour
If the scaling is either 100% or 200% the transition to and from lock screen is smooth. I would expect the same smooth transition with fractional display scaling.

Same issue here. Fractional scaling resets to 100% after closing the lid. This issue is present in Mint 21 Cinnamon. However, Mint 20 Cinnamon did not have this issue (in the same laptop).

Here is my system information. I would be happy to provide any other information.

I also have this issue. I set the fractional scaling to 125% but it resets to 100% on the logging screen. It goes back to 125% after login.

Here's my config

Hi please have a look here: linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver#416 (comment)

This fix did not seem to help. I would just get a black screen instead of screensaver and login prompt.

I've been having the same issue.
Black screen with cursor visible after resume from suspend. However, I could still enter the password and login.
I suspect now the resolution was so far off that the login prompt was "off screen"

See thread below. I had a work-around for Intel graphics, but now I've decided to wait for an official fix.

stage: Multiply the stage window by the global scale.

Even though the scale is already accounted for in Gtk/Gdk functions,
muffin can be confused during configuration events like power
management and monitor hotplugging causing breaks in screen coverage.

Seems to be fixed in Mint 21.2 Victoria
