Bug Description

The new lock screen in gnome 3.36 looks strange, as if the blurred background image is being scaled down to the top left corner of the screen. background image being used is 1920x1440 pixel jpeg, display size is 3840x2160, with fractional scaling enabled and set to 175% on wayland.

Thanks for the bug report.

The first thing to check is to please uninstall these extensions:

  '<email address hidden>',
  '<email address hidden>',
  '<email address hidden>'

We find so many gnome-shell bugs are caused by extensions that they should be removed as a first step. Then if the problem persists then please report it to the gnome-shell developers at:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues

and then tell us the new bug ID.
