Bug ID: 374622
Summary: Display Setting Buggy and Unusable With High Scale +
Low Resolution
Product: KScreen
Version: git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: lukebe...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The last UI element you want to malfunction when you’re playing with Display
Settings is the Display Settings itself.
Steps to reproduce:
1.On 1920x1080 or 1280x1024 display, Display -> Scaling -> 2x
2.Reboot
3.Try to change scaling back
I have a 1920x1080 13” laptop. I was not happy with some widgets at 1.5 so I
made the mistake of trying 2x scaling factor. After a reboot there was no way
to access the scaling setting or the any of the bottom buttons for the Display
dialog. Meanwhile I had the huge waste of a laptop screen that was useless.
Even if you hide the laptop screen, you still can’t access the buttons below.
If you try maximizing / resizing, you get all kinds of rending artifacts.
Of all the settings dialogs, this one should be the most resilient. Instead it
seems to be one of the most fragile. Tested with KDE Neon (1280x1024) and KDE
Arch (1920x1080)
After much time wasted deleting .local/share/kscreen and other KDE system
files, I finally got out of this mess by using xrandr and faking a 2K display.
My suggested solution to this bug, is to allow the display settings to be any
size, but if the buttons are off the screen put in a scroll bar. Also the
display should shrink/be hidden before the buttons disappear.
