Plots DPI Scaling setting keeps reversing

[some-guy1]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Using 4K resolution with graphics set to automatic. Matplotlib windows are generated at a very small size.

If I change resolution in
Preferences->IPYthon console->Graphics->resolution

to much larger value e.g. 200 DPI, the matplotlib plots are readable and look good.

However, when I close spyder and reopen it, despite the setting still being 200dpi, all matplotlib windows are again displayed at a very small scale. Current fix is to change 200 to 70, click apply, change 70 to 200, click apply. <-- every time I open spyder

@juanis2112 @some-guy1 I was able to reproduce this 👍

Just in case @some-guy1 for the workaround you can also change the value from 200 to 199 and again to 200 and then click Apply and/or Ok
