Description
Hi,
Since the latest Flatpak version of Retroarch, 1.22.2 there seems to be an issue with the frontend when using Scaling from the KDE Plasma Display Configuration page.
I use a 4K TV as a living room solution which is unusable without scaling to 175%.
I don't see a difference within RetroArch SystemInformation in RetroArch Version or Git Version, but an earlier Flatpak commit (42b75b25a2ae01f3c03da1277f67aa37d5464cc83d41d91361fcc546f29b32d6) does not have this issue while the default installed latest version does.
Expected behavior
When using Retroarch in Fullscren Display=ON mode, it should show the entire screen.
What shows now is that it "zooms" in on the application cutting off parts of the screen.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Setup display scaling in KDE Plasma (I am running Fedora 43) to anything above 100%
- Set RetroArch to use fullscreen mode
- Restart

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with RetroArch 1.22.2 on Fedora 43 KDE Plasma using display scaling above 100% and fullscreen mode. Compare the latest Flatpak commit with 42b75b25a2ae01f3c03da1277f67aa37d5464cc83d41d91361fcc546f29b32d6; done means fullscreen displays the entire screen without zooming or cropping.
