Shows the Dolphin window with preview of a pdf document

SUMMARY
Since upgrading to Kubuntu 22.04, I have previews in the Dolphin information panel like I used to, but the image resolution is poor. I used to be able to read the contents of a pdf file preview, so I did not have to open the file, which was great when searching several documents. This is no longer possible. The preview image is smaller than before and it looks like there is no way to increase the size. Photos shot in high resolution display clearly, so it seems like this is a problem with displaying text in a pdf or plain text file.  I'm attaching a screenshot which hopefully should illustrate the problem. I'm not sure how to attach a second screenshot, but I also have one showing the same Dolphin window, showing preview display of a photo, which fills more of the information pane with a clear preview. Please let me know if there is any information I can share that will help solve the problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Select a pdf or text file in the dolphin window.

OBSERVED RESULT
The information panel does not use all of the space available to display a preview, and the image resolution in the panel is low, so text is not easy to read

EXPECTED RESULT
Previously I was able to read text in the preview of a pdf file, which made it easy to choose the correct file from a folder by viewing the preview instead of opening the file to check it's contents.
