SUMMARY "Global scale" changes do not apply to existing windows. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Display Configuration KCM 2. Change Global scale from 100% to 125%, click Apply 3. Open Dolphin 4. Change Global scale from 125% to 150%, click Apply 5. In Dolphin, click File -> New Window. OBSERVED RESULT The KCM window didn't change scale. Dolphin window #1 is at 125%. Dolphin window #2 is at 150%. The current behavior requires more clicks to preview the scale while adjusting it: you have to repeatedly 1. adjust scale 2. run new application / open new window 3. close that window to cleanup. It also requires saving the data in all open apps and restarting them after having set the scale to the desired value. EXPECTED RESULT Step 2 should change scale of the KCM window to 125% when clicking Apply. Step 4 should change the scale of both windows (KCM and Dolphin).
