Thanks @schluetermichael. I think it's OK for 20.1. It's a papercut obviously. In 20.2 we'll change this UI a little bit and recommend a logout when fractional/hidpi scales are changed. |

monitor's scale factor changes. Prior to fractional scaling in cinnamon, changing the global scale factor would also change the logical size of monitors, forcing the desktop windows to be remade. Now, if fractional scaling is enabled, and the interface scale is changed, the logical size will be maintained, resulting the desktop never getting notified about it. Another method was needed to detect underlying interface scale changes. ref: linuxmint/mint20.1-beta#21 reproducible example: - In display settings, with interface scale at 1x, turn fractional scaling on, set to 125%, hit apply. - Now switch interface scale from 1x to 2x, hit apply. - Check desktop menu - will be clipped.

I did a fresh installed of Mint 20.1 Cinnamon Beta, installed all updates as of Dec 19th and switched to the nvidia-455 driver (GTX 1060).
After a reboot I changed the display scale to 150% (see screen shot).
Afterwards, the context menu of the Cinnamon desktop was cropped since the menu items are scaled to 150% but the menu window size is still at 100%. Another reboot fixes the problem.
