Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/web
Steps to reproduce
- on a linux computer with a very high DPI screen, launch T3 code with "--force-device-scale-factor=X" (I launch it like this every time through a shell script)
- wait until T3 Code notitices a pending T3 Code update (happens very often)
- click the "update" + "relaunch" buttons
- now T3 Code relaunches with tiny unreadable GUI because it re-launches itself without the --force-device-scale-factor=X parameter (it would be much nicer if it was smart enough to notice that it is launched using --force-device-scale-factor=X and then just also re-launched itself with that exact same --force-device-scale-factor=X parameter)
Expected behavior
it would be much nicer if it was smart enough to notice that it is launched using --force-device-scale-factor=X and then just also re-launched itself with that exact same --force-device-scale-factor=X parameter
Actual behavior
now T3 Code relaunches with tiny unreadable GUI because it re-launches itself without the --force-device-scale-factor=X parameter

Research direction
Start in the apps/web self-update and relaunch flow, tracing how the application is started after an update. Reproduce the Linux case with --force-device-scale-factor=X, then verify that the relaunch preserves the exact argument and the GUI scale remains readable.
