SUMMARY
***
Something about scaling XWayland Application changed/broken since the last couple of updates.
I have always used Jetbrains IDEs on Fedora KDE where the laptop screen is scaled to 200% (3840x1440) and the monitor is at 100% (3440x1440) with the settings "Apply scaling themselves" for Legacy Applications (X11), since the last couple of updates this does not work anymore, the IDE is very small on the monitor so it is not scaled correctly. If i move the IDE to the laptop screen the size is normal, i have not changed any settings for this to work previously it just worked. I have updated IntelliJ but i have not updated Android Studio the last 3 Months and it is the same behavior for both IDEs

I cannot figure out what updates have caused this because i am not connected to the monitor daily and i did 2 updates of all packages since i have been connected the last time where it worked normally.

To me this looks like a bug where the IDE get told the screen scale or whatever.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open IntelliJ on up-to-date Fedora KDE with 2 different monitor scalings and the Apply scaling themselves option
2. See the problem

OBSERVED RESULT
IDE not scaled correctly

EXPECTED RESULT
IDE scaled correctly

If you have an external monitor at 100% scale with a 3440x1440 resolution it sounds like *everything* on that monitor should be fairly small unless the monitor is enormous. Is everything else small, or not? A screenshot depicting the issue with Jetbrains on that screen along with Dolphin for reference would help.
