[BUG](Linux) Wrong scale in HiDPI screen and text Location report to input method
Hello, I am using Arch Linux with: OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: 5.11.16-arch1-1 Shell: zsh 5.8 Resolution: 3840x2160 DE: Plasma 5.21.4 WM: KWin microsoft-edge-dev: 91.0.864.1 ...
- May 20, 2021Hi,
I had this scaling issue today after installing Edge beta on Kubuntu (KDE) and we found a solution from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Chromium_/_Google_Chrome
Launch Edge with the following flags: --high-dpi-support=1 --force-device-scale-factor=2
To make these changes permanent, copy the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and add the flags to "Exec" before the "%U" in the file.
This will override's Edge's scaling and forces an absolute scale of 2 (1 = 100%, 2 = 200%).
Hope this helps!
