[Bug 1798982] [NEW] Kubuntu 18.10 scaling problem

[Richard Baka]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I installed Kubuntu 18.10. My notebook has a fullHD display so DPI
scaling was needed. I set scaling to 1.2 but the ui of firefox and
chromium browsers were still small. Then I set it to 1.3 and chromium
looked OK but firefox still had small elements.

I think Kubuntu is the best linux desktop in dpiScaling point of view
but there could be some improvements for better out of the box
experience. All the settings should work fine for/with the desktop's
default applications because everybody has a HD display nowadays.

Beside that it would be more comfortable if it shouldn't be needed to
set the size of the panel and statusbar icons separately (by hacking
configs).

These things are very important for a good user experience.

Thanks.
