Minimization's animation

SUMMARY
kwin doesn't follow the global scaling factor set by the system on x11.
For example, if I set global scaling factor to 2 in system settings, then:
    The icon size at context menu of window's titlebar is small
    The minimization's animation is misplaced

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set global scaling factor to 2. Or manually export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=2
2. Reboot, and right click on some window's titlebar, and minimize some window.

OBSERVED RESULT
See additional information

EXPECTED RESULT
The icon size at the context menu of window's titlebar should be the same as other icons.
The minimization's animation should not misplaced like this.

Yes. That realistically can't be fixed.

It works on wayland.
