[Bug] Issues with Wayland fractional scaling

Open Surasia opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

Operating System

Linux 6.12.4-arch1-1 (GNOME 47)

What's the issue you encountered?

ImHex seems to encounter some issues with Wayland's fractional scaling (set to 175% in my case), where the following occur:

  • OS Window decorations seem to not respect theme (light/dark on GNOME) image

  • When OS Window decorations are disabled, ImHex's own decorations don't show up image

  • Font is not scaled to the same resolution to the rest of the UI, which makes anti aliasing very blurry. image image

  • Context menus appear in incorrect positions (not consistently reproducible)

  • Mouse cursor seems to artifact (issue disappears when screen recording?)

How can the issue be reproduced?

Use Wayland Windowing system in addition to setting fractional scaling settings in your DE, observe issues in ImHex when built from source.

ImHex Version

21b315b97ef15e1a641ef79a2e41d0dfe992790f

ImHex Build Type

  • [X] Nightly or built from sources

Installation type

Through ninja install

Additional context?

I also used xlsclients to make sure that ImHex was not using XWayland, and it is not. Weirdly enough, I observed similar issues when running on XWayland, such as the window decorations being in the incorrect theme.
