I am using a 4K monitor, so I set the system scale to 200%, and it works well in most applications. However, edge presents a vary big interface, about 2 times larger than normal. I tried "export GDK_SCALE=1", than lunch microsoft-edge-dev in the terminal, the interface become normal, but when I lunch download file in edge, the file manager (dolphin) become 0.5 smaller than normal.
What's more, edge seems incompatible with input method (Fcitx), the location where float bar should be present in the left up of the position. Chromium fixed the issue (Refers to: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=475718 ).
I tried Google Chrome, and it works prefect without the two bugs. Both of the two are my favorite browsers, wish it can be fixed. Thanks a lot!
Hello, I submitted this feedback monthes ago, without getting any reply. So, I turn to the form, thinking this may be a better way to track this issue.
I have the some problem with kubuntu 20.04, with a 4k hidpi screen with the microsoft edge, it have 2X scaling, the OS have 200% scale, but MS edge add another 200%, the result: The browser saddly its innusable. With ubuntu traditional with gnome this works fine, dont have this problem.
Regards!

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%).
