Hmmm.....
I have only tested in FireFox. What application are you using? REboot should not be required. Perhaps logout/login if Gnome is your desktop, but as I recall in my testing, a mere restart of the application was all that was needed.
It should affect GTK applications, but probably nothing else (KDE/Plasma, for example).
