Bug ID: 446508
Summary: X11: xrandr uses scaled down size (/ by 1.75) to
position extended screen instead of full size
Product: kwin
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: xrandr
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

confused display configuration
SUMMARY
My Laptop monitor 14" 2560x1440 looks best at 175% scale
My external 4k 27" monitor looks best at 150%
For whatever reason 'Display Configuration' remembers/shows 3840/1.75=2194 x
2160/1.75=1234 in the visualisation of the displays as well as for the relative
positioning (see attachment buggy-setup.jpg). Tested with 'extend to the
right' and with 'extend to the top'. Resolution is properly displayed as 4k.
I've created a new user and logged in and everything works as expected. System
settings show 4k in the visual represtation and positioning external monitor to
right and on the top results in properly aligned displays.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open 'Display Configuration'
2. *check that/when* the size in the visualition is not the real resolution
3. create an 'extend to the right' setup, 'Apply'
OBSERVED RESULT
only 2194 instead of 3860 pixel of the external monitor are used (see also
attachment buggy-layout.jpg):
EXPECTED RESULT
full 4k size of the external monitor is used

is shown, only the left 2194 pixels (estimate) instead of the full 3860 are
draws. When plasma started redraw displays the full 4k resolution
