Bug ID: 466251
Summary: Global scale setting changes back to 100% if I open a
directory in Dolphin as root, but Display
Configuration shows the Global Scale is still 200%
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: terry.forsy...@iplawpro.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I have 4k displays, and have my Global scale set to 200%. Up until today's
update it was working fine. After today's update, if I open a directory as
root in Dolphin, my global scale reverts back to 100%. In Display
configuration it still indicates 200%. To reset it, I change the Global scale
to some other value, select apply, then again select 200% and it goes back to
200%. If I again open a directory as root, the Global scale again goes back to
100%.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In settings, Display and Monitor --> Display Configuration, set Global
scale to 200%.
2. With the "Open Dolphin as root" plugin installed in Dolphin, from within
Dolphin open a directory as root.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Global scale reverts back to 100%.
2. Display Configuration still shows Global scale set to 200%.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. When the Global Scale is set to 200%, it will stay at that setting.
