Triple-width pager for 2 screens

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set two identical 4k monitors (screens) side by side and global scale to 200% in system-settings > display

OBSERVED RESULT
Each virtual desktop pager width is 3 times the proportional width of one monitor (see attached file 'Triple-width pager for 2 screens.png')

EXPECTED RESULT
Each virtual desktop pager width is 2 times the proportional width of one monitor

NOTES
1. If one screen is deactivated in system-settings > display, leaving global scale of 200%, the pager resizes to the correct width for one screen (see attached file 'Normal pager for 1 screen.png')
2. If global scale is set to default (100%) the two-screen pager shows correctly.

Normal pager for 1 screen

Setup based on the screenshot:
Oxygen global theme
4 virtual desktops set to 2 rows
Pager shows 2 rows and 2 columns

Tested with Plasma 6.2.5, X11, with 2 3440p monitors (I don't have 4k monitors)
Global scale set to 200%

The Pager does not currently show outlines per monitor, so I am not sure if I'm seeing the exact same thing. 

What I do notice is that if I do this:
- In Pager Settings, enable "Show window outlines"
- Maximize one application on each monitor
Then it looks like the width of each virtual desktop is correct

Are you still able to reproduce this with an up to date openSUSE install?
If so, do you see this on Wayland as well or only X11?

Sometime last year, I think when updating to Leap 15.5, the pager was normal again. Same with Leap 15.6
