Bug Description

When opening an image, the zoom level is displayed as 100%, but the image is visibly blurry from being slightly zoomed out. There are a few pixels of black bar on the right and left edges of the image. Expanding the window vertically lets the image display at 1:1 zoom.

This occurs with images that should be small enough to be displayed at 100% zoom. For example: a 960x540 image on a 1920x1080 display.

I have a similar zoom issue with Ubuntu 17.10 (Xorg).
Since I have a HiDPI display, I use the 200% scaling option and assume that this might be correlated with the issue.

When I open a screenshot of 1246x878px, it is displayed in EOG at about the correct size, however is looks anti-aliased and EOG says it is 50% zoom and not 100%.
Shotwell shows a similar behavior, Gimp and RawTherapee work fine.
