Bug ID: 374647
Summary: HiDPI display gets unwanted partial scaling
Product: kwin
Version: 5.8.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bugs-...@lagiewka.pl
Target Milestone: ---
My screen is HiDPI - 3200x1800 on a 13.3" laptop. Scaling times 2 under Wayland
look generally the same as under X - it pretty much covers everything.
The problem is when scaling is set to 1. Effectively this should mean that
nothing will be scaled as it does under X. On my Wayland session - I get
partial scaling, which seems to be giving me scaling by the factor even greater
than 2.
What is scaled (unwanted):
Plasma elements such as panels (i.e. drop-down from system tray), krunner
Fonts in UI - i.e. system settings or dolphin. It also happens for window title
panel text but not the panel itself. In result the text does not fit in the
title panel.
What is not scaled (wanted):
Applications in general, i.e. Vivaldi is not informed about scaling and the UI
along with websites are not being scaled. Other software I've opened to see
effects: KeePassX 2, Slack, Messenger for Desktop, PhpStorm
My fonts settings are varying from 8-10. Anit-aliasing - system settings. Force
DPI is unchecked.
