Created attachment 189652 [details] 125-Scale SUMMARY On the desktop, Icons and their associated text labels do not scale sharply at fractional values. While they appear crisp at 100% scale, an increase results in blurriness. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings > Display and Monitor > Display Configuration. 2. Set "Scale" to 100% and click Apply. Note that desktop icons and text are crisp. 3. Change "Scale" to 125% (or any fractional value) and click Apply. OBSERVED RESULT The icons appear soft/blurry, and the text labels lack the sharpness found at 100%. EXPECTED RESULT Icons and text labels should remain crisp and sharp at any scale factor.

Icon blurriness is expected and unresolvable. The 48px trash icon contains details aligned to the pixel grid that cannot be cleanly rendered at fractional scales. The text blurriness here is unexpected and unusual.
Is text blurriness only seen on desktop icon labels? Or is it visible in other parts of the Plasma shell and KDE applications?
