Describe the bug
After installing Warp on a steam deck (both via the .AppImage and .pkg.tar.zst) booting the app I am greeted with a massive UI that I cannot downscale.
To reproduce
- Obtain a Steam Deck
- In Desktop Mode, install Warp by running the AppImage or installing the
.pkg.tar.zstthrough pacman - Launch Warp from the AppImage or the entry in "System" in the applications menu
Expected behavior
I expected to see a login screen, onboarding screen or something of the like at a normal scale - or a scale that I can resize.

Additional context
I have never experienced a problem like this with any other app on the Steam Deck, so this seems to be an issue with how Warp specifically handles it's GUI creation.
Does this block you from using Warp daily?
Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.
Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)
Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in SteamOS Desktop Mode by launching Warp from the AppImage and the .pkg.tar.zst application entry, then compare the initial UI scale and resizing behavior. The issue names no source file or test; done means the initial screen appears at a usable scale or can be resized on Steam Deck.
