still present on Plasma 5.22 *** Bug 447980 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/utilities/print-manager/-/merge_requests/19 Git commit 8f4fee72f3d0eb5455fcb868fa057d5aef936344 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 12/01/2022 at 21:44. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Drop custom elide fading It's fallen out of fashion, really, and causes problems with high-dpi. Rather than fix it, just drop the indirection pixmap altogether.

Any chance it can be back-ported as a bug fix to a sooner release? So, this still looks broken to me on the 5.24 beta. I have attached the screen shot. Created attachment 145690 [details]
5.24 beta bad rendering
5.24 beta
The fix is in print-manager 22.04, which isn't released as a part of Plasma. So it's not in the beta yet. It will be released in April of 2022. |
