After resizing screen setup via xrandr or via kscreen in project neon, the kmenu icons become oversized and alignment makes them invisible. Same/similar dpi/scaling effect is seen with other elements (burger menu on panel, burger/ex-cashew on desktop activity). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. switch resolutions and/or screen arrangements using xrandr or kscreen Actual Results: brief high cpu activity, plasma crashes, konsole/system settings crashes, plasma reloads with the new settings, but with the scaling issues described above. cpu activity is consistently high on interaction with plasma elements such as the kmenu thereafter. Expected Results: nothing crashes. resized/rearranged screens/desktops and rescaled/dpi adjusted for various desktop and panel elements/widgets. kubuntu 1404 project-neon only minimal system UEFI booted on core i7 all intel system76 Gazelle Pro P8
what is kmenu? and please, for graphical bugs, please provide a screenshot
Created attachment 86909 [details] image of the above described scaling bug took these using the full testing ISO provided, rather than the custom ubuntu install.

i don't think i made up the "K-menu" thing by the way, pretty sure it was called that long before any of this plasma business... seems to be somewhat generically called "Application Launcher" now.
so the second comment is before resizing/rescaling/rearranging the screens the third one is after [it would also be nice to edit the comments to correct typos or add info instead of just adding endless new ones].
in the initial screenshot, i've just run 'xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1200' (LVDS1 is 1920x1080) the weird black artifacts in the background are (i assume) the desktop not having redrawn yet, which i probably a bug in itself, although unrelated. if i switch desktops or whatever, the background redraws as expected.
also, on the live cd version, there is no crash related to this change in resolution, just the strange scaling - which changes the severity i guess. (the large scaled plasma elements/icons are not in themselves bad, by the way, but the panel and application launcher elements need some sort of dynamic resizing to cope, or the icons should scale differently.)
is the "force fonts dpi" checkbox set in the fonts kcm?
hey, so, basing this off neon5-201406200837.iso see screenshots above for the difference without dpi scaling and with 125dpi scaling (which looks good under KDE4.x on this screen/resolution)
Created attachment 87403 [details] neon5-201406200837.iso before dpi setting
Created attachment 87404 [details] neon5-201406200837.iso at 125 dpi scaling
Screenshots looks same as bug 338308. xrandr output? Monitor dimension correct? May be a edid problem.
