SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70 Qt Version: 5.15 RC2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am willing to create a patch for this, if someone tells me where is the code located/ what repo does this belong to.
Kwin renders drag surfaces. Drag surfaces are a wl_surface which will have a buffer and a scale. Cursors are then rendered directly on the DRM plane.
A relevant phab: https://phabricator.kde.org/D29672 I don't know if it'll fix much, but it's something that's currently wrong. Should also show you the relevant area.
Git commit e8091a1d6faff1b9ca2696c4fa5d284ace0a33ce by David Edmundson. Committed on 13/05/2020 at 13:44. Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'. Follow scale of drag surfaces Summary: Similar to regular cursors a drag surface can have a scale. The buffer "rect" should be in logical pixels at which point QPainter will automatically handle everything.

Now instead of being blurry the item is actually bigger (about double the size), which is probably related to mouse cursor or widgets being bigger.
It's a separate issue and should be filed in a new bug report
Created attachment 179839 [details] dragging a folder and it's blurry Hey. This is still a thing with Plasma 6.3.3. When my scaling is set to 125 or 150, drag&drop items are extremely pixelated/blurry.
