The sidebar on my Files app is having scaling issues, as seen in the image. I’m not sure when it occurred. I used software app to update from Fedora 43 to Fedora 44. Gnome is what I’m using. I’m not that familiar with Linux. If anyone knows the fix, please help me. Thanks
It doesn’t look like a scaling issue, the line spacing is poor design.
From the fact that you have MacOS-style colored buttons in the title bar, I think you have applied some kind of theming to your system. I guess whatever you installed is not (yet?) compatible with Gnome 50.
I suggest you undo this and see if it fixes things.
The latest update to nautilus does not seem to apply the Gnome font scale settings. In this screenshot the nautilus window (in background) should have the same font size as the settings window. But it doesn’t. Attempting to zoom in (Ctrl+) just changes the icon size.
Annoying.
Problem solved after a reboot
It was working with the theme. Before updating to fedora 44. I can’t remember if it was existing before upgrading or not. I will give that a try. Thank you so much for replying
Yea that’s the issue. I was tweaking with display scale before but I did set it to default at the end. So I thought it would have messed something up. Anyways thanks alot for replying
It has not been solved for me even after a restart.
But before the upgrade you had Gnome 49 on F43, now you have gnome 50 on F44. The upgrade changed the central part that is now behaving unexpectedly for you, stating that it worked before is not very meaningful. Since there aren’t dozens of threads about this in here, I would be thinking about how your system differs from all the other systems that were upgraded and that are fine.
The Gnome devs consider theming a source of bugs and have made it harder and harder with libadwaita. I doubt they have any reservations about breaking themes in an upgrade, so that’s why I suggested that when I noticed your title bar.

Ohk. I will remove the theme and check.
