Bug 489159

It's definitely correctly spelled in the source, and it's also correct on my PC.
What display scale are you using? Does the "i" appear when you change it to 100%?

I’ve just logged in to edit my “bug”, it was a display issue when I increased the zoom, I only noticed it later, my apologies for wasting your time

Thank you for your patience

No time wasted here, it's still a bug, even if it's not in KWin. What scale were you using where the problem appeared?

Some kind of fractional scaling glitch, yeah.

Please report your scale factor for actual monitor resolution.

Also, what anti-aliasing setting are you using, and is this on a rotated monitor?

Good morning Nate, from Pretoria, South Africa

Herewith screenshots that should answer your questions.

My monitor is not rotated.

After changing my resolution per the 'Display Configuration' the "i" in 
"Compositor" disappeared. I can't remember the resolution at the time, 
but it was less than 125%. I have tried to replicate the issue with 
resolutions from 100% to 125%, in 6.25% increments (dictated by the 
system), but it's perfect now at every resolution.

I'm glad I took the screenshot of the issue, otherwise I would think I'm 
losing my mind.

Kind regards

Mark

Thanks. Being on X11 and using an NVIDIA GPU with the NVIDIA control center complicates the scenario, since now we have multiple things touching how stuff is rendered on the screen. I see you've also changed the value of the Force Font DPI setting from its default value of 114 (calculated as `scale factor * 96`) to 120.

Given all the custom settings at play here, I'm not sure there's any chance we'll be able to figure this out if it can't be reproduced anymore, sorry. :(
