Description Adam Williamson 2014-04-15 20:14:05 UTC 
Testing running GNOME under Wayland with current Fedora Rawhide on my laptop.

I notice that various elements of the Shell - at least the top panel, and I think the dash, notification tray, really a lot of things that are part of Shell itself - don't seem to be respecting the text scaling factor setting under Wayland. I have a fairly high res screen so I have it set to 1.3, but the panel seems to be noticeably smaller than under X.org, so I figure it's not respecting the scaling factor and rendering the text at 1.0 scale (the size of the panel being determined by the size of the text it contains).

I'll see if I can get comparative screenshots.

When I use a "big font size" from the accessibility menu this increases text size in the shell (Gnome 3.14) in X but not when running in a wayland session. Is this is the same bug? If so it is easily reproducible (I'm using Gnome 3.14 as distributed in Fedora 21).
Comment 3 Arnaud B. 2015-07-29 20:36:47 UTC 
@Felix: I think it is. One aspect of this problem is that there is a “big text” option in GDM that does strictly nothing noticeable – quite confusing. (future Fedora 23)

I can approve this bug, in fed32 with gnome 3.18. when I switch to wayland , the scaling factor of gtk apps are correct but gnome-shell does not respect scaling factor at all.(which on traditional session in X11,scaling factor is okay)

Assuming this is with 3.18.1 and not the latest 3.18.2 which should fix this.
