Scaling issues with chromium based browsers
Version: 0.25.0-1 (on Manjaro Linux)
Running brave or chromium in wayland mode messes up the scaling, makes it display unsharp and messes up links. Links can only be clicked by clicking slightly above the links instead of directly on the links themselves like what is normal. The top of the browser tabs run slightly out of the 'window' at the top. The browser has a slightly out-of-focus look. See screenshot.
This usually happens after I have started the browser once and closed it. If I start it again, this happens. So usually not the first time I start the browser and in XWayland it works fine.
Switching to fullscreen mode and back to tiled mode (Master-stack) fixes the problem.
It does not happen with Firefox, nor does it happen on other compositors like Sway. Scaling is set to 1 and the screen is a normal laptop screen 1920x1080@60hz with Intel graphics.
In order to start brave or chromium in wayland modus I use --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
or set the flag 'Preferred Ozone platform' to wayland.
