SUMMARY When I set a display scale besides 100% in Display and Monitor -> Display Configuration -> Scale, it gets reset upon logout. It doesn't actually change the reported value though. So if I set it to 150% and logout, when I log back in it appears to be at 100%, but it says it's still at 150%. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set display scale to something besides 100% 2. Logout 3. Log back in OBSERVED RESULT The display scale is reset to 100%, but the reported scale stays the same. EXPECTED RESULT The display scale stays the same as it was on logout.

Created attachment 152452 [details] Contents of ~/.local/share/kscreen I've uploaded the contents of ~/.local/share/kscreen, like you said.
What we're seeing is we have conflicting settings where we have some settings saved with: "For any display arrangement" set. Some with "For only this specific display arrangement". What gets loaded is quite poorly defined and the UX is even more ambiguous. Can you try wiping ~/.local/share/kscreen/outputs and confirm that fixes things?

That doesn't appear to fix it. I wiped ~/.local/share/kscreen/outputs, changed my scale to 125, and rebooted. When I logged back in, the scale was 100% again. It also seems like ~/.local/share/kscreen didn't repopulate the outputs directory. Not sure if that's intentional.
There were a lot of kscreen fixes in Plasma 5.27. Any chance you can upgrade to Plasma 5.27.5 to see if it's still an issue? Thanks!
Sorry for not replying. This has been fixed!
