          Found the solution.



          Go to folder /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications and right click
          "gitter-desktop_gitter-desktop.desktop" and open properties.



          The command must change from this



          env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/gitter-desktop_gitter-desktop.desktop /snap/bin/gitter-desktop %U



          to this



          env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/gitter-desktop_gitter-desktop.desktop /snap/bin/gitter-desktop --force-device-scale-factor=2 %U
