Bug Description

When using user interface scaling (like on high-dpi screens) with scale factor 2, gtk3 application toolbars show the icon resource of twice the correct size. The icons are not upsampled, just the too big resource file is chosen (that would fit a scale factor of 4).

This was tested with default settings (15.04 iso). This issue did not occur in default settings of older releases (14.10).

15.04 was released with this newly introduced bug. Is there any hope this will be fixed in the stable version, should I better upgrade to 15.10?
Is nobody else using a scaling factor? How can this bug be either a) unnoticed, b) ignored or c) noticed but not relevant? Are there no quality criterias that a release must fulfill?

Same here, scale 1.38x is way larger than 1.75x; it happened after the unity package is updated to unity 7.4.5+16.04.20171201.3; I am using Ubuntu 16.04 now
