Regression was caused by commit ae714ac6 (see URL). 5.26.2.1 was fine after reverting it. It is reproducible only with global scale applied. Fine with 100%.

Thanks for the quick fix. Will this be in 5.26.3 or is there a chance it will be pushed sooner?

Maybe that is close enough for you as well. Thanks for the suggestion. ZaWertun's COPR for Fedora now includes this patch in kwin 5.26.2.1-2. I also found no issues in downgrading only kwin to 5.26.1.

imo this is worth a respin or at least mail to distros list.
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #10) > imo this is worth a respin or at least mail to distros list. I agree, for me the workaround to slightly change the scale factor does not work (I normally use 225), hence my only "solution" is to disable compositing, which is not very nice (this even entail some graphics artifacts). I have to give a talk next week with my KDE laptop and I'm not sure how I will handle this :(
@San Does your package manager let you downgrade KWin to 5.26.1? In Fedora I ran `dnf install kwin-5.26.1-1.fc36.x86_64` and things seemed to work.
(In reply to David Warner from comment #12) > @San Does your package manager let you downgrade KWin to 5.26.1? actually I don't know but I doubt it, because the issue came when I dist-upgraded KDE neon to the new version based on ubuntu 22

You'll see some messages from apt about the dependency packages being "held back", which should resolve once a newer version of kwin-x11 is released.
(In reply to Thomas Kear from comment #14) > that works! many thanks!!
