Created attachment 189264 [details] A collage of all screenshots showcasing comparisons of the symptoms above. SUMMARY Clean install of the krita-arm64-v8a-5.3.0-beta1-release-signed.apk from the newest 5th Feb 2026 post. Launched it, and was welcomed by messed up UI and text scaling (no HiDPI support enabled) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. download apk from https://download.kde.org/unstable/krita/5.3.0-beta1/krita-arm64-v8a-5.3.0-beta1-release-signed.apk 2. launch it without HiDPI support enabled (make sure Android and One UI version matches) 3. experience the anxiety of a cramped environment OBSERVED RESULT The text seems to be incredibly massive so much so it often gets cropped by other elements, some UI elements have also suffered, no settings change anything except for HiDPI support. Enabling the HiDPI support setting only slightly helps (especially with text), but will still scale UI elements to be too big, much bigger than I'm used to! EXPECTED RESULT I will attach some old screenshots of my workspace, with the UI size that I'm expecting and am used to, the last version did not cause such problems and I have not changed any settings inbetween these before and after screenshots. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Android: 16 One UI: 8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have attached the labeled screenshots below. I am sorry I cannot provide more specific information :( Thank you for your incredibly hard work ♡
Confirmed on a Samsung S6 Lite tablet. It seems like it's just the font that's large and is stretching other parts of the UI to make it fit, since anything that doesn't have text on it scales to the correct site. The setting to disable is under Settings → Configure Krita → General → Window→ Enable HiDPI support.

Hello! Thank you so much for confirming the issue, unfortunately I'm not sure what you mean by disabling the setting. I have attached screenshots showcasing the issue being present ONLY when HiDPI is disabled :( unsure as to why! You're also correct, It seems to be a font/text issue indeed!
The comment about disabling the setting was just to clarify it for other developers or testers that might look into this. You said "launch it without HiDPI support enabled (make sure Android and One UI version matches)", which made it sound like it's something you have to disable in Android, not a setting in Krita.

Oh I'm sorry! You're right, that makes more sense, thank you!!
