1. This bug happens without screen scale changes, e.g. modal appointment reminder windows by Evolution regularly start in this screwed up state.
2. Switching screen scales is pretty normal for a production laptop that goes on and off external monitors, e.g. between working desk and commuter shuttle/ kitchen table. Not an unusual setup.
3. Snap apps *always* end up borked after screen scale changes, other apps sometimes, there is something with the snap apps that could be interesting to investigate, if anybody cared to investigate.
4. Xorg + Nvidia are pretty typical for many production laptops, e.g. for the rare tribe of engineers working with deep learning. Ubuntu is a typical operating system because it aligns well with the servers that are eventually used. This is certainly not everybody but a cool bunch.
5. There are many reasons why Wayland may not be appropriate for a laptop used for work, I found a list online https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277 and my personal thing would be: How to I ever get out of Libre Office (which hangs a lot for simple stuff like copy-pasting a table column) without xkill?
6. I strongly believe that the attitude "this is open source and anyone is entitled to try and debug it and offer fixes" is inappropriate and a weird kind of gate keeping that is toxic to open source projects. Open source is not open source and your expertise is not mine. I am a user of thousands of open source projects and I contribute to and maintain a couple of tens. I am an expert in my domain and I care for the open source projects that I can contribute to. I do not tell users to fix my bugs. I am not an expert in fixing novel window decoration bugs in Ubuntu, this is your domain, please take ownership of your bugs.
