Bug ID: 500683
Summary: Filenames on [specific] desktop [rows] blurry with
fractional scaling
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop icons & Folder View widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: madness...@proton.me
CC: h...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Created attachment 178830

Aligned desktop left to right, positioned in the upper left corner.
SUMMARY
When using fractional monitor scaling, the left row of the desktop, will have a
slightly blurry/fuzzy text.
The affected row also changes depending on the alignment of the desktop icons.
Aligning desktop icons to the right, and placing them back at the upper left
corner will cause the second row to be blurry. It's also slightly misaligned. I
took two screenshots with the "Remember Selected Area" feature of spectacles,
but it might be difficult to see on the screenshots due to Bug 487997.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set primary monitor to 125% scaling (2560x1440).
2. Confirm the icons are aligned to the left (Right click the desktop -> Align
-> Left).
3. Create two files and place them next to each other.
4. (Optionally) set wallpaper to a black image (Right click the desktop ->
Desktop and Wallpaper -> Color -> #000000).
OBSERVED RESULT
The left row will have a blurrier filename compared to the second row with the
default icon alignment.
EXPECTED RESULT
The filenames should be sharp on every row.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Fedora 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- I can reproduce this problem with a single monitor setup using a 27 inch
1440p monitor.
- This also occurs when using a dual monitor setup using 125% (1440p monitor)
and 175% scaling (4k monitor). Made sure to logout/login before re-testing.
