After starting Emacs in xmonad (v0.11, Debian testing package version
0.11.1-4) on some workspace with emacs -Q, switching to another work
space, and then switching back to Emacs, the Emacs window becomes
"cropped". It then still occupies the same space as a window in the
window manager and the menu bar still extends to the full width of the
window, but emacs only draws its "content" in the upper left quarter of
the
available space and all emacs windows are resized as if the whole
window
had been resized.
The problem is 100% reproducible and happens independently of the used
xmonad layout and even in floating mode. Sometimes more than one switch
to another work space is required to trigger the behavior. When the
window size changes (by switching to a different layout for example)
Emacs again draws in the whole available space.
The bug makes emacs very hard to use in my setup.
I am happy to provide additional details if you tell me what to do.

Can you try the latest pretest 25.0.94 of the upcoming Emacs 25.1?

I just found out what is causing the problem:
In my .xinitrc I am doing the two following exports
export GDK_SCALE=2
export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5
to make icons in GTK applications reasonably large on my HiDPI screen.
Without these exports, or by starting Emacs explicitly overwriting
these values
$ export GDK_SCALE=1; export GDK_DPI_SCALE=1; emacs
resolves the problem.
bug#20432 also seems related to this.
I guess that in the long run this behaviour will have to be fixed, for
now I can live with the workaround above.

If that's the problem, I'd definitely urge you to try the latest
pretest, since AFAIK some of these problems are supposed to be solved
there (as part of handling bug#20432 you mention).

Why do you need the "export" parts? Isn't the following enough?
$ GDK_SCALE=1 GDK_DPI_SCALE=1 emacs

I think it might already be fixed, please try the latest pretest, or
build from the emacs-25 branch of the Emacs repository.
In any case, I added to PROBLEMS the description of this and the
workaround.
Thanks.

I just tried and and the problem seems to be resolved in emacs-25.0.94.

Export is not necessary. Just
GDK_SCALE=1; GDK_DPI_SCALE=1; emacs
works equally well.

Great, so I'm closing this bug.
