Bug Description
I have a 2560x1440 screen that by default gets set to 200% which is way too large. I just set it to 100% and tweak the font scaling a bit instead. This is equivalent to the 1.38 scaling that used to be available in settings in 16.04.
When connecting an external 1920x1080 screen the settings revert back to 200% on the internal screen. This makes no sense. The internal screen hasn't changed its properties so there's no real reason to change to 200% just because there's a second screen attached. Particularly since the setting is per-screen.
