[10:57] <ChristW> Hi, I have some photo's (screenshots don't show the problem...) of a problem. Are you interested in seeing them, and how do I get them to you?
[10:58] <TJ-> !paste | ChristW 
[10:58] <TJ-> hmmm... where's ubottu when we need it!?
[10:58] <ChristW> pastebinnit?
[10:58] <TJ-> For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.
[10:59] <TJ-> there we go, copied from ubottu in another channel :)
[10:59] <TJ-> so imgur.com basically is the answer
[10:59] <ChristW> Thanks! I'll see if I can get it on imgur...

[11:03] <ChristW> Only part of the top menu bar shows up, and the menu that shows when I press the 'power' button only shows part.
[11:04] <TJ->  ChristW have you got zoom/scale factor set high?
[11:05] <ChristW> I did zoom in. Not sure how to check how high this is?
[11:07] <TJ-> ChristW: it looks to me like the zoom isn't being taken into account when setting the size of the containing GUI element
[11:07] <ChristW> In the accessibility menu, I turned on 'Large text' and 'zoom'.
[11:07] <TJ-> ChristW: is that 18.04 ?
[11:07] <ChristW> Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS \n \l
[11:09] <ChristW> If I switch back to 100% (Ctrl-Alt--), the problems go away.
[11:09] <TJ-> So presumably Gnome - which I don't use
[11:09] <ChristW> If I zoom in (is 200% the first step??), I get these artifacts.
[11:10] <ChristW> $ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[11:10] <ChristW> /usr/sbin/gdm3
[11:10] <ChristW> So probably, yes...
[11:11] <ChristW> ...but I'm not attached to it, so I could try another one.
[11:13] <TJ-> could be related to this bug
[11:13] <TJ-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1779615
[11:13] <TJ-> I can't find any other reports immediately
[11:14] <ChristW> I could install lightdm...
[11:15] <ChristW> and use unity.
[11:15] <TJ-> I think unity, or the unity theme to gnome, may be the problem
[11:15] <TJ-> I only use XFCE so it's not something I experience. 
[11:20] <ChristW> I tried installing XFCE, will report back after the reboot...
[11:26] <ChristW> Ok, xfce up and running...
[11:26] <ChristW> Now for the a11y features...
[11:28] <TJ-> I'm quite interested in this because I volunteer for a blind charity and am currently designing and developing a complete digitial platform for them
[11:29] <ChristW> Good luck! It's hard to get right...
[11:30] <ChristW> So, how does screen magnification work in XFCE?
[11:32] <TJ-> umm!
[11:32] <ChristW> Ah, Alt-mousewheel seems to work!
[11:32] <TJ-> hold down Alt and mousewheel
[11:35] <ChristW> Ok, that works... I'll show my wife when she gets home.
[11:36] <ChristW> Whew, that was some morning... Getting rid of NVidia drivers, then getting this up and running...
[11:37] <ChristW> Oh: https://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/sanity-testing/a11y_sanity_suite.html -> 404

[11:39] <TJ-> :) 
[11:40] <TJ-> Doesn't surprise me, the Ubuntu wiki has no automated link checker and has a lot of old legacy articles
