2. Inspect the returned image file.

OBSERVED RESULT
The image file is 1440x900 pixels in size and only contains the bottom-left quarter.

With a 4k screen at 200% scale, I cannot reproduce this issue myself using the xdg-portal-test-kde testing app.

Where can I find this app?
Comment 3 hexchain 2022-10-25 05:05:03 UTC 
Never mind, I found it. But with this app I still get the exact same result.
Comment 4 hexchain 2023-01-31 14:23:19 UTC 
In Plasma 5.26.90, taking a screenshot through xdg-portal-test-kde (either inside or outside flatpak) on a 3840x2160 200% screen gives me a picture of the whole screen but scaled down to 1080p. Is this the correct/intended behavior?

what I get

I cannot reproduce, the image seems to be the correct resolution (that is on master, so please compare with 5.27 at least).

I wonder if we could/should just be launching spectacle here, this looks a bit ridiculous...

The buggy screenshot

This is what I have with xdg-desktop-portal-kde 5.26.90.
Comment 7 hexchain 2023-02-02 14:47:42 UTC 
I see where the problem is. In your screenshot, the area is set to "Current Screen", which makes the portal call org.kde.kwin.Screenshot.screenshotScreen(fd, bool). Inside this method in KWin, the screenshot flag is initialized with ScreenShotNativeResolution, and the result buffer is scaled according to dpr.

If the area is "Full Screen", the portal will call screenshotFullscreen(fd, bool), which does not have the native resolution flag, so the result buffer will be the same as the logical size.
