SUMMARY
Under wayland when global scaling is active (in my case 125%) the default view doesn't zoom to a reasonable size and trying to zoom to original size doesn't seem to work at all.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log into a wayland session
2. Set global scaling to e.g. 125%
3. Observe issues

OBSERVED RESULT
* default zoom doesn't fill in the whole application window
* trying to zoom to original size doesn't do anything

EXPECTED RESULT
* work like intended and behave like under X11 with global scaling active
* work like on wayland when global scaling is not active / 100%
