It’s already solved in 16.04 though. They have _removed_ support for it in this case.

Unity's approach introduced some visual glitches due to rounding errors and didn't work with multiple monitors (with different dpi), I wouldn't call that "solved".

It solved the practical “80%” use case: single HiDPI monitor. That’s strictly better than the current, utterly busted state of things.

True, but I can see why they went for the 100% solution this time, which they couldn't finish for 18.04.
