Top Panel icons+text Ubuntu 20.04 have become extremely small

Question

The question says it all. From yesterday, my top panel icons and text have become very small. Not sure what has happened. I am sharing a screenshot. Let me know if this can be corrected. Thanks!

Yes. Very very sudden. Today only. See this question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1267616/why-are-the-top-application-indicators-top-bar-icons-appearing-black-and-white See the top panels there. Those fonts look bigger. — C.S., Aug 22 '20 at 04:21
I guess some system update might be the reason.. And may be its a bug which may be rectified in next update if the developers notice this issue.. — PRATAP, Aug 22 '20 at 04:26
Open Tweaks (gnome-tweaks) and show me the Appearance and Fonts tabs. Also edit your question with the output of ls -al ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and ls -al /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions. — heynnema, Aug 22 '20 at 13:58
@heynnema Thanks. It is back to it's normal shape now, after i did the following : Universal access Large Text off and then again Large Text On. Then the fonts came back to their regular size. — C.S., Aug 22 '20 at 14:26
@pomsky : I don't think that will serve as an answer. Because the moment i restart my computer the same issue pops up again. So i will refrain from adding that as an answer,. — C.S., Aug 23 '20 at 02:48
Does this answer your question? Ubuntu 20.04 interface font too small after restart, even with high scaling factor There, you will find some workarounds and the link of the bug opened in launchpad (there is a regression in libmutter package) — Lorenz Keel, Sep 04 '20 at 18:20

I don't know what causes it, but I found a solution.

I went into Gnome Tweaks panel (installed from Ubuntu Software) and changed the Font Size under Fonts to 1.01 and back to 1.00. That fixed it.

If you aren't using Gnome Tweaks, you may be able to do it in Settings as well, but that worked for me.
