Description

Hello there,

When using Flameshot under a fractional scaling setting 125%, the screenshot preview shown in the Flameshot editor appears blurry or aliased. However, the actual screenshot image — when saved or copied — is sharp and unaffected.

  • Flameshot v12.1.0
  • Gnome 48
  • Wayland
  • QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1.25

Actual screenshot: Image

If I don't set QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1.25 the image is sharp on preview, but out of scale.

Any ideas to fix that?

Thanks!

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run flatpak run org.flameshot.Flameshot gui
  2. Select a rectangle
  3. Image appears blurry or aliased

Hi! NixOS user here, double OP, I have same blurry experience, even without setting QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS it's no as crisp as other programs.
