I'm using fully updated Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.

In Ubuntu Gnome, you only allow for integer scaling of things for high DPI monitors. While in theory this sounds good, on a 27 inch 4k monitor like mine, restricting it to integers is a problem. 1x is annoyingly small, and 2x is WAY too big. You need a 1.5x, and presumably to just allow most noninteger values to future proof the distribution given 8k monitors and all sorts of new and weird things coming out, like windows 10 has.

Photos of the two annoying sizes are available here (it won't let me attach two files):

I apologize for my photography skills in advance., you'll have to look at the ruler for scale to see the problem. Please contact me if you need any more information etc.
