Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-09-24 16:19:39 UTC
This is KDialog, not actually the file dialog itself. The file dialog works just fine with fractional scaling, so KDialog must be doing something weird with it.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2019-10-24 08:11:16 UTC
Cannot reproduce on openSUSE Tumbleweed using:

QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.2 kdialog --getopenurl

It is possible that the browser calls kdialog with a reduced set of environment variables, maybe due to sandboxing?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-10-24 16:33:11 UTC
Can confirm, kdialog works for me too when run standalone like that.

Are you using Firefox from Flatkap or snap, or are you forcing portals by setting GTK_USE_PORTAL=1? I wasn't aware that Kubuntu's Firefox was able to use a KDE file picker...
