Bug ID: 458321
Summary: DPI scaling is way off when using nvidia proprietary
drivers instead of nouveau
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: losoc66...@otodir.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When using the nvidia proprietary drivers instead of nouveau/Intel, looks like
text is bigger and some apps don't fit it properly, so is partially or totally
"cut".
Setting "Force font DPI:" to some value like 80 fixed the issue.
Several screenshots will be attached below comparing the same window in nouveau
vs nvidia. Several distros are affected, at least Ubuntu and Manjaro.
This could be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374978
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run KDE/plasma installed or live distro on any hardware with nvidia graphics
cards.
2. Install and enable the proprietary nvidia driver so it's in use after reboot
3. Reboot
4. Install notepadqq v1.4.8
5. Open it and press F1 to open the About dialog
OBSERVED RESULT
The version number and Copyright text is cut partially.
EXPECTED RESULT
Behave with nvidia proprietary driver like with nouveau, so display everything
properly.
