partial screenshot showing okular and "discover"-thingy

Hey,

have no idea about catetory or anything like that, so sorry if i miss the target. 

screenshot shows some weirdness in the rendering of fonts and images. Look at the app-images in the "Discover" app for instance, they have jagged lines that appear "broken" some times. The fonts in the PDF to the left is also really broken.

I tried to turn down the scaling of this display, but it still remains. Am running kubuntu 17.10 upgraded to kde (plasma?) 5.11.4 via the backports PPA.

Oh, also, on an unrelated note, i have 5 input method selectors. Wtf?

Please use multiple bugs to report multiple issues, and refrain from using profanity in bug reports. The 5 input method selectors problem is a separate issue, and you should file a separate bug for it.

The issue with Discover is tracked by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385547

The issue with Okular is caused by your version lacking HiDPI support. Happily, this has already been implemented in the code, and will make it into the version of Okular included in KDE Applications 17.12, which is scheduled for release in 8 days: https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Applications/17.12_Release_Schedule
