I just did some testing and I can still replicate the problem, but only under the following conditions. All testing was done using the packages currently in testing as of 17 June 2025 and a monitor running at 3840x2160. 1. Use X11 (the problem does not manifest in Wayland). 2. Set scaling to 175% (the problem does not manifest with scaling set to 200%). When the above are true, clicking repeatedly on the Split/Close button in a maximized Dolphin window will cause the window to slowly march away from the right of the screen a few pixels at at time. Doing so about 15 times causes the gap to become easily visible. Other things that I haven’t fully tracked down cause other program to march away from both the right and bottom of the screen. I had previously posited the problem might be related to running two panels, one on the bottom and one on the right, but testing indicates the panel configuration has no effect. Given the specificity of the requirements to cause this bug to manifest, if it isn’t readily apparent what the problem is I might be inclined to just let it go. X11 will be dead in just a few short decades (I know, I jest) and we can add a release note informing people that odd zoom scaling values might not be in their best interests. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
