SUMMARY This is something I observed while testing: https://phabricator.kde.org/D16968#365437 The crux of the problem is that sometimes the folder view widget will not scale elements properly when it has to account for, say, a panel in its way. STEPS TO REPRODUCE (what works for me) 1. Align a sufficient number of icons so that you make sure they will horizontally or vertically intersect with a panel 2. Make a more drastic icon size change, e.g. from Large to Small Medium 3. Take notice of how the elements are not rendered properly OBSERVED RESULT Both the text and the icons are not rendered sharply: https://phabricator.kde.org/file/data/y6phbjgm7e4xv27af4b2/PHID-FILE-nm22uip53gci7zo7plnp/Screenshot_20181124_192928.png EXPECTED RESULT If you change the sorting mode you trigger the proper rendering: https://phabricator.kde.org/file/data/dcruq447f2n54xfqo6tn/PHID-FILE-qx4mkbznzvn75insmsv2/Screenshot_20181124_192953.png SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2
I can reproduce this. Every second icon size setting causes blurry text.
For some reason I can't reproduce it when the icons are aligned on the left, just on the right (panel is at the bottom).
