Additional info
I'm using the default wf-shell CSS file, default.css 6,852 bytes.
See how the top part of all the fonts is eaten away. This is not reproducible at scale = 1 or 1.25 or 1.333333333333.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the wf-panel entry point at scale = 1.125 with the default.css file and compare it with the reported working scales. Inspect the font-rendering path to identify why the tops of glyphs are clipped; done means text renders without clipping at 1.125 while the other reported scales remain unaffected.
