Comment 8 for bug 1864112

I understand that it is frustrating, for sure.

However, note that your reason for not using the official scaling system is bugginess, yet the alternative method you've chosen also has bugs (e.g. this one). Clearly these bugs are less severe than the ones you're avoiding. However it's at least important for those bugs keeping you from using the official system to be reported or else it can't improve to the point were it's adequate for your needs. If you feel the need to use a workaround in the meantime, I understand, but please file bugs on the issues that are preventing you from using the official system.

Looking at the issues you mention:

> Flameshot didn't work with the desktop scaling feature enabled, while it works
> great at a 192 DPI.
Sounds like a bug in Flameshot. Can you file it with the developer of that app?

> Also, in my three 4K monitor setup, if I moved my mouse past the bottom edge of the

Wow, that sounds bizarre! I've never heard of this happening before. Can you file a bug if you haven't already?

Hope that helps!
