Created attachment 276634 [details] Screenshot of workbench window I am running Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers. Version: 2018-12 M2 (4.10.0M2) Build id: 20181108-1653 On Gnome 3.30, wayland session. I am connecting a 4K monitor with fractional scaling set at 150% and my laptop's screen FHD screen at 100%. When starting up Eclipse the main workbench window is completely unusable if displayed in the scaled monitor. Otherwise on the laptop display it works just fine. Using keyboard accelerators to open dialogs ( e.g. the About dialog ) works just fine, but the main views and the editor are completely unusable.
Created attachment 276670 [details] Screenshot at 125% zoom I've attached a screenshot at 125% zoom, where the distortions are different, but still unusable. It seems the icons are scaled too much, while the fonts appear correct.

Sorry, I am no longer running Wayland so cannot confirm whether it's fixed or not.
Created attachment 281825 [details] Wayland scaling problem
I am able to reproduce this issue with Eclipse 1.14 and Sway 1.4 on a display with scale=2. Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: 2019-12 (4.14.0) Build id: 20191212-1212 I have attached a screenshot of the problem.
Problem is still there with 2020-03. I am using non-fractional 200% scaling on one monitor and normal 100% on the other. If Eclipse is on the 200% monitor, it looks like Christian's screenshot, if I move it to the other monitor its ok. Using Gnome 3.34 with Debian Bullseye
It would be nice to know when this bug will be addressed. I can reproduce this with any scaling which is not 1. With the proliferation of HiDPI screens and the uptake of wayland, this bug should be prioritized IMHO.

Is there a blocker for this issue? This is an ACCESSIBILITY issue for us more than anything. Can this please be re-prioritized given that that this issue was reported for 4.10 and we are getting ready to update to 4.16.

If this is a blocker for you, try to contribute : https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform/How_to_Contribute I guess this will not make in 4.16, it is too late and I guess also there are no contributors working on Wayland, so they don't feel the pain. Take a debugger and go reverse engineer SWT code. That's the only way to get things done.
Hello, just wanted to give everyone an update on this. I have picked up working on this scaling issue. A fixed is on the way, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564097. Although the fix does make the UI usable at larger scales (I have only tested 200%, but will be testing with other scales and DEs in the days to come, I have just gotten a 4k monitor to test), some icons and images are still not scaled properly. I am trying to fix that atm.

Thank you so much for testing, and I'm glad it did. I'm guessing the only issue is the scaling of the toolbar icons? (There are other images that don't scale but those are non critical) I have a fix for that in gerrit, just waiting for review.
Just putting this in here for anyone else who experiences scaling issues: If you would like to run Eclipse on fractional scaling please use the system settings to set this. This is so that SWT can recognize the change in scale. Again the icon scaling fixes are coming, using -DswtAutoScale flag causes problems. You may need to enable fractional scaling using this command (may require restart to have an effect): dconf write /org/gnome/mutter/experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
This is still working quite well. A minor issue (since the fix to icon sizes) is that when I unplug my external monitor which is the one that is scaled (1.5x), Eclipse adjusts to the regular scaling and dpi of the laptop monitor. Except the icons which don't adjust and remain quite big. I have to restart Eclipse for the icons to reset to the correct scaling.
Another issue from my testing: I found that if the scaled (external) monitor is the leftmost (primary/pos 0 0) one, then Eclipse does not scale well. A work around is to set the leftmost monitor to scale 1, start eclipse and then reset the monitor scaling to 1.5 (in my case). At this point, Eclipse figures out the correct scaling. Weirdly, this is not an issue if the leftmost monitor's position is set to negative and the rightmost is at pos 0 0. I'm using Sway.
Hello, just an update. There has been a recent patch included in the latest integration builds that allows for the icon to scale when the DPI changes. https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20200810-1800/ If you don't mind, I'm going to close this bug since seems to be working quite well for Jon. If any other scaling issues occur please open a new bug.
Sounds good. thanks!
