desktop-icons-ng uses GTK3 so maybe that's the common factor? Basically any older GTK app that has to fake fractional scaling by being over- upscaled and then downscaled in the compositor.

It returns to its normal size when moved over the panel, dock and most Gnome apps (evince is a notable exception here). The issue appeared after the update to 23.04.
