I uploade the wrong screenshot, my bad.
This bug seems to have been made less bad since I reported it. It's still not 100% fixed (icons are still scaled wrong, and moving the window between monitors seems to not cause the PDF view to re-render immediately thus scaling poorly until you zoom or something) but it's definitely usable now! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 433003 *** |
Created attachment 137138 [details] Screenshot of the broken DPI scaling, and how it makes the text very painful to read. SUMMARY I have two monitors. My primary monitor is a 1440p monitor with 100% UI scaling, my secondary monitor is my laptop's built-in 1080p and it has 125% UI scaling. Okular seems to be doing broken rendering at 125% DPI scale and nearest-neighboring it down, instead of rendering at the correct DPI scale for the monitor it's on (or just pretending like DPI doesn't exist and letting Windows bilinear it up, which would still be much more readable) Image attached with what it looks like. The broken DPI scaling affects *everything* in the interface. The PDF, the toolbar, etc... STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have two monitors with separate DPI scale. 2. Start Okular 3. Witness Okular having broken DPI scaling. OBSERVED RESULT Broken DPI scaling trying to do 125% on my primary monitor instead of 100% EXPECTED RESULT Okular to correctly switch between DPI scales depending on the current monitor. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 Pro 19042.867 Okular is installed from the Microsoft Store. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Filelight (which I also have from the MS Store) works perfectly fine.
