Wayland support requested
When I try using Wayland, I suffer from a very weird issue and I have been unable to get anywhere close to figuring it out.
I use Fedora 43 with KDE on a 4k monitor, with the scaling set to 125%. About half the time when I log in, some programs (specifically Firefox, as well as my own JavaFX project) ends up being unscaled (i.e. everything is very small).
It only happens on these applications, and only sometimes.
When it happens, logging out and logging back in fixes it. I have never seen the problem happening after I log in again.
Interestingly enough, when the problem occurs, starting Floorp (another Firefox-based browser) does not exhibit this problem.
It's like some programs get the wrong scale factor, but only sometimes.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?
