It may be easier to show the expected behaviour with a video:

The important thing is that text visual size and window visual size is kept in
sync as the system DPI changes. From the report I got the impression that this
was maybe not the case - but that could be a misunderstanding.
From there it's possible to go into the details: there are multiple coordinate
systems, window and text sizes are (approximately) constant in one coordinate
system but changes in another. Long discussions can be had :)
But fortunately, Qt apps can for the most part ignore this and continue to
assume a single coordinate system at 96DPI.
