Latest Update Causes weird font behaviour
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Hi, a recent update from chaotic aur (105.0.3-1) has caused fonts to behave very weirdly such that they are extremely blurry. Can confirm this does not happen with firefox, librewolf, or tor browser so this appears to be a firedragon specific issue.
Thanks
Edit: For clarification, fonts look pixelated.
Here's what I have as my defaults, what do you have?
Settings -> General -> Fonts -> Advanced
(Exact Same)
Is there possibly any way i can completely clear any and all cache/settings/config and then reinstall firedragon?

After some experimenting, I found that the environment variable GTK_USE_PORTAL="1" was the cause for this issue. I am not sure what exactly it those but it was on by default in the KDE Application Command. Removing that solves this issue. Not sure why it happens though.
Edit: Cursor changes too
That's incredibly strange. I wonder, does that happen for Librewolf?
This issue isn't present in tor browser (but it uses firefox version 91)

This appears to be an upstream issue though.
Both Firefox and Librewolf have this issue (Video only shows firefox but it is applicable to both applications)
289067a the portals were enabled here in order to get rid of a patch that was required to achieve KDE Filepicker usage before.
What's the DE and hardware? I can't confirm this behavior on my local device.
DE: KWin

In regards to the KDE Filepicker, I am able to achieve the native file picker with and without the environment variable.
As of the latest build, the file picker is enabled by this 289067a#diff-3eb779079ad4346f8eade242846d429257510d13ca279c6f4a645258b5f327f3R544, no environment variable needed anymore!
