Rendering difference on the edge of the screen when using side-by-side screens with different scale
I am using Gnome 3.38.1 in Ubuntu 20.10, with two displays side-by-side.
- Left: 1920x1080, scale: 100%.
- Right: 2560x1440, scale 200%.
I have some rendering issues on the left screen when a window goes close to the right border (before moving to the right display). The rendering of the icons and fonts changes, which make looks the applications out of place. Font looks shorter/shrank, icons look blurry.
It looks like the border has a padding, and the changes take effect (or start to take effect) before actually entering to the right display.
Here is a cropped screenshot of what I mean (probably you need to see it 100% zoom):
It it is bearable when moving screen from left to right. However, it is less bearable when snapping windows. I have to set the windows manually several pixels before the edge so the renders look the same.
- Is this something you were aware of, known issue, or intended to work this way?
- Is this something I could tweak/fix locally?
- Does this problem has a solution or just a corner case that does not worth invest time?
