HiDPI scaling seems to have regressed in 2023.3.3 on Linux/X11/Plasma

The IDE scaling seems to have regressed in 2023.3.3 on Linux/X11/Plasma.
In the previous version 100% was entirely readable, but on this version 100% zoom is very small. I use a global scale of 137.5% in my KDE Plasma/X11 display configuration.
Version info:

Raman Gupta you might be facing IDEA-341318.
Could you please check if adding
-Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=falseto the file opened viaHelp | Edit custom VM options...solves the issue?If not than please provide HiDPI info obtained as follows:
1. Run Find action in the IDE using Ctrl+Shift+A shortcut or Shift-Shift and switch to Actions tab.
2. Start typing “Show HiDPI info” and select the found action.
3. Make a screenshot of the appeared window and attach it to your reply.
It would also be helpful if you share the idea.log (locate it via main menu Help > Show log in [file explorer]). You can use our upload service for that, just let us know the upload ID.
Thank you!
Thanks Ekaterina Valeeva – reading through the referenced issue, I noticed people were having the issue randomly, and indeed a restart with no other changes has “fixed” the problem on my system as well. Also using `-Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false` does not appear to cause any issues It certainly seems like I might be running into that issue. Starred, thanks!
