Please fill out the below information:

  • Your Windows build number: 1903

  • What you're doing and what's happening:
    Running Terminator terminal emulator with VcxSrv on HiDPI screen.
    Prior to 1903 update, I can add an environment variable in ~/.profile :
    export GDK_SCALE=2
    And this would get a 2x scale for GDK applications.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    The previous breaks with 1903 update.

  • Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If some_command is failing, then run strace -o some_command.strace -f some_command some_args, and link the contents of some_command.strace in a gist here).

  • For WSL launch issues, please collect detailed logs.

See our contributing instructions for assistance.

This submission is not WSL actionable. WSL writes bytes out socket localhost:6000 and does not know the semantics of GDK_SCALE. The place to direct the question would in forums related to those products (GTK and VcXsrv). You'll probably get better answers there by replicating your scenario under a VM like Hyper-V or VitrualBox rather than WSL. Ref #637 (message). Tag somewhere between external and linux-behavior.
