--- Comment #2 from B
As you say, fractional scaling is still an experimental option, so it may or may not work correctly...
Fractional scaling is a limitation of old X apps, currently this option is an workaround. As you say #3567 may fix it, but it needs to be merged and I think it still requires apps to support scaling itself.
This is still an upstream issue and the upstream MR seems still under development, I would suggest to focus there for progress.
Thanks for your reply. I know that fractional scaling is still in the experimental stage and that there are some limitations with older X apps. However, it has a big impact on the user experience, especially for those using HiDPI monitors who rely on fractional scaling to make their systems usable. As technology keeps on developing, more and more people will start using 4K monitors and other HiDPI displays. This will make fractional scaling an increasingly necessary feature for a growing number of users. Not dealing with this now or waiting for Wayland to be used by all apps isn't a good solution for users who need functional systems now. While upstream merge request #3567 shows promise, it's still under development. In the meantime, users are left with no effective solution, which severely impacts usability. Could you please consider the following points: 1. Could we maybe implement a temporary workaround or patch in openSUSE’s open build service to help with these issues until the upstream solution is fully developed and merged? Upstream Advocacy: Getting in touch with the folks at GNOME to make sure this issue gets the attention it deserves, especially since HiDPI monitors are becoming more and more common. I appreciate all you're doing to keep the distribution up to date and address user concerns. But it's also important to find a balance between waiting for upstream fixes and providing interim solutions to make sure users have a smooth experience. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
