            Bug ID: 448136
           Summary: Implement "ignore wayland scaling" flag for apps that
                    have custom internal scaling mechanisms
           Product: kwin
           Version: 5.23.5
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: wayland-generic
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: richrocksmywo...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

MATLAB (gtk2?) has its own internal scaling factor "s" which can be set to any
value, such as 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2 etc. This scales all the UI elements. The font
size can also be set independently.

In Wayland environment with 100% Wayland scaling on a 4K monitor, MATLAB can be
configured with perfect scaling and sharp fonts simply by increasing "s", and
increasing font size.

In Wayland environment with 200% Wayland scaling, both the UI and fonts are
blurry as Wayland adds an extra scale factor which is not needed.

Launching non-standard toolkit apps with custom internal scaling mechanisms
should have an option to ignore the Display scaling set in Plasma System
settings.
