Description
Created by: benfry
The sizing for most of the PDE works properly as of Processing 3.3, however sketches don't re-size based on the scaling.
There's an issue open here that covers the cross-platform aspects of making this work. The Windows version of this bug is here.
This issue is only for the Linux-specific parts of the problem, i.e. how are we gonna get the current UI scaling or DPI setting from the hodgepodge of window managers used with Linux.
