Created attachment 143763 [details] Screenshot of the compressed text on the low dpi monitor SUMMARY When konsole is moved to lower DPI display (1440p) from a higher DPI display (4K) the text ends up compressing itself and becomes unreadable. This also affects any new text that is input or printed. Global scale is also set to 150%. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Text is compressed on the lower DPI display (see attachment). EXPECTED RESULT Text is readable. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics platform: X11 Graphics driver: NVidia proprietary 495.44
I apologise for missing the repro steps, first time reporting a bug here and I was trying to add an attachement ( and I cannot see an edit button for the text). It happens after restart and stays that way. Restarting konsole does not help, however sometimes, the problem inverts itself and the text is readable only on the low DPI and becomes too wide on the high DPI display.
Hello i also have this problem. Three screens, one of the screens (dvi) decides that in the same resolution the size is bigger and fonts are too squished. Funnily my previous machine running three monitors (discrete amd gpu) worked fine, now i use integrated amd gpu (5600g).

I also have global scale set to 150%.
I think this is the same issue: whenever I connect/disconnect an external monitor and mirror what's displayed font rendering in konsole gets messed up: the cursor position seems to advance more than what the font's characters are actually wide. I imagine there could be a workaround: hook into resolution/DPI change event and trigger font size up/down in konsole. I'm not familiar enough with the internals to do this myself.
Can you try a more recent 24.08 version? Thanks!
