Side by side comparison between X11 and wayland sessions
SUMMARY
When switching from X11 to Wayland both at 150% scale, the desktop layout is
ruined and the widgets and font are scaled too big.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In X11, set scale to 150%
2. Add several widgets stacked vertically at the right part of your desktop
3. Logout, switch to Wayland, and set scale to 150% (This will cause all
windows to scale in a blurry manner, so we relogin to fix it)
4. Logout and login again to a Wayland session
OBSERVED RESULT
The widget positions break apart (as if they were wrapping around). The fonts
and widgets on the desktop are too big as well compared to X11. All other apps
have correct font sizes.
EXPECTED RESULT
The widgets should look the same as in X11 with no changes in layout, widget
size, and font size.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've been experiencing this since I first tried KDE with Wayland (can confirm

work properly so far.
I have tried this on a new user and with other types of widgets, same issue.
