Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2016-11-23 04:34:36 UTC 
Interestingly enough, in 3.22 (tested with a Wayland GNOME session), if I start the GTK inspector from any application, I will notice the font sizes shifting. That's because I set the system's font scaling in gnome-tweak-tool to "1.15", and it seems like GtkInspector starts and applies a default value of "1.00" instead of reading the user's global setting...
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2016-11-23 18:28:27 UTC 
The code that initialized the font scale slider says:

  /* There is no backend agnostic way to get the default value, so use 1.0 */
  update_font_scale (vis, 1.0, TRUE, TRUE);


so, as far as the code is concerned, this is intentional. I guess somebody could work out the backend-dependent way of getting the current value, and plug that in there...

Just for reference, this is the fix:
