Description sneak 2020-10-08 15:01:18 UTC
SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

0. have two side portrait displays, and one center landscape display, in an H configuration.
1. choose "picture of the day", "unsplash" or "astronomy" or whatever, category "4k", "scaled"

OBSERVED RESULT

side screen lock wallpaper is distorted

EXPECTED RESULT

an image that is the correct aspect ratio is chosen, such as the ones that ship with KDE and selectable under "image"

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.17.5
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0
Qt Version: 5.12.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

there's a second bug which I don't know where to file regarding the actual dropdown menus in the settings that cuts off the "positioning" options, which I will submit as another attachment momentarily.

My 11.8MB png screenshot taken with spectacle is too large to attach here (3x 4k displays).  I had to install Krita to export it to jpeg, you may wish to up the attachment maximum size limit on the bugtracker to 20-50MiB to adjust for larger displays.

"scaled, ke[ep aspect ratio]" (brackets presumed, as i can't see the letters) letterboxes the image, predictably.

It seems that the image should either be rotated on the other displays with different aspect ratios, or three different appropriate-aspect images chosen?
Comment 5 sneak 2020-10-08 15:10:58 UTC
The first option, "Scaled an"[whatever], seems to do approximately the right thing but the image selected from the source is usually too low res for the display.  I suppose that's not a bug in KDE, though.
