Description Eamonn Rea 2024-07-29 17:17:38 UTC

SUMMARY
Some text in the Clipboard Contents widget is misaligned. Letters have inconsistent spacing and some letters appear higher or lower. Also, when mousing over the items in the list, the text becomes blurry, and the text jumps around. This jumping around actually makes the misaligned letters and text become aligned.

The text also exhibits the same artifacting problem described in Bug 486039.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Clipboard Contents tray widget.
2. The items in the dropdown have misaligned items and inconsistent spacing.
3. Hovering over the items causes them to become blurry.

OBSERVED RESULT
Text in the Clipboard Contents widget has issues with inconsistent spacing, letters at inconsistent heights, and the text becomes blurry when moused over.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text in the Clipboard Contents widget should display no visual oddities.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.10.2 Linux Zen
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- None of these issues are present on the "Clipboard Items" Klipper menu that can be accessed by default with Meta+V.
- Maybe these are symptoms of fractional-scale-v1 that, like several other fractional scaling oddities, will be resolved with fractional-scale-v2?

Cannot Reproduce.  Are you on Wayland or X11?  What scale factor are you using, and can you reproduce at other scale factors?

Can you create a screenshot? It might also be #479891 which sometimes can temporarily become normal by changing the selection.

Comment 4 Eamonn Rea 2024-07-30 22:18:48 UTC

I think this is the same bug as Bug 478165 overall, with the font-y weirdness being Bug 479891 as mentioned. I can still provide a screenshot just in case, and this can be re-opened if it is indeed a separate bug.

Yeah, the slight blurriness on hover is 100% Bug 478165.
