Bug ID: 462389
Summary: Legacy Applications: Apply scaling themselves: Scaling
changes depending on 2nd screen enabled or not
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: OpenSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pos...@posteo.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have enabled Legacy Applications: Apply scaling themselves and adjusted the
individual scaling of applications via environmental variables (GDK_SCALE=2.0,
etc.) in a way, that it looks fine on the primary screen.
The primary screen scales with 200%.
If, however, the 2nd screen is enabled, which scales with 125%, it may happen,
that the legacy X11 applications spontaneously changes its scaling from 2.0 to
1.0.
In this case I need to change the env variable and restart the application.
Doing this every now and then is rather annoying.
(Or vice versa, adjusted for multi-screen usage and scales with 1.0 when 2nd
screen is detached.)
Would it be possible and make sense to introduce an option to always consider
the scaling of the primary screen only, so that scaling doesn't change and need
to be corrected when screens are attached/detached?
