Bug Description
I recently upgraded my Kubuntu x86_64 system with a HiDPI monitor (24" 4K) from Wily to Xenial. Before I did this, applications using all the toolkits (GTK2, GTK3, Qt4, and Qt5) properly obeyed the DPI value automatically detected from the monitor, causing them to automatically scale to a usable size. However, after upgrading to Xenial, GTK3 applications no longer have this behavior. Instead, they appear at the normal 96DPI size, causing them to be nearly unreadable due to the small size of their widgets.
I am currently using GTK3 3.18.7-1ubuntu2, but the issue has been occurring since I upgraded to Xenial months ago.
