Bug Description

All UI elements are blurry when using fractional scaling of 150%.

Steps to Reproduce

Launch Storage Explorer.
Observe entire UI blurry.

Actual Experience

UI is blurry.

Expected Experience

UI should not be blurry.

Additional Context

Ubuntu 24.04
Wayland
150% Fractional Scaling
32" 4K Display

From what I understand this is due to the app running under XWayland instead of being a native Wayland app.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Linux snap on Ubuntu 24.04 under Wayland at 150% fractional scaling, then investigate how Storage Explorer is launched through XWayland. The work is done when the full UI is sharp in that configuration; the issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry point and validation coverage still need to be found.
