screenshot of the launcher search field at different desktop scales and font DPIs

One or two minor updates ago I started noticing this problem on my mobile devices which have a higher DPI screen. Please notice the corners of the search field in the launcher window. The Kicker input field shows the same issue.

I attached screenshots of the desktop at:
“scale”  Font DPI  Remark
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 %    96        and also scaled up the screenshot for comparison
100 %    192       same font size as with 200 %, but widgets/margins remain smaller
200 %    192

Cannot reproduce at 200% scale without messing with the font DPI at all.

Is this by any chance happening after you switch between the X11 and Wayland sessions? If so, it might be Bug 429057.

Does it go away if you clear the Plasma cache with `rm ~/.cache/plasma*`?

I did try Wayland on the device, but it’s been some while ago and I went back to X11.

I cleared the cache and now those corners are smooooth. 👍

I also have this glitch on another device which I think never had Wayland installed. I will try the cache method there later.

I can’t remember ever having seen the shadow glitches from the ticket you linked. I would have noticed that very quickly. :)
