brave-browser: Gnome Wayland Fractional Scaling Regression
Description
Previously brave worked fine when org.gnome.mutter experimental-features was set to ['scale-monitor-framebuffer'] (necessary to get fractional scaling at the moment under gnome). Now if you set the display scaling to something larger than 100% (e.g. 150% or 200%), brave is not scaled properly, appearing much too large.
Steps to Reproduce
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"- Set display scaling to something larger than 100%
- Install latest version of brave
- Set Preferred Ozone platform to Wayland under brave://flags
- Restart brave
Actual result:
Brave window is not sized properly, e.g. when it is “maximized” it takes up more than the full screen and is blurry.
Expected result:
Brave is sized properly according to the desktop scaling setting and not blurry.
Reproduces how often:
Consistently

Experiencing this again on v1.52.122.
Actually, in addition, setting the preferred ozone platform to wayland when the experimental mutter setting isn’t enabled, but scaling is e.g. 200% is now also blurry, where it used to not be. Perhaps scaling in wayland may just be broken in general.
Yes. I tried both flatpak and rpm install and it happens on both. Had to delete all profile information to reset everything so it would stop. Avoiding wayland for now I guess until this is resolved
Fixed in in the now released 1.51.118
I have found a temporary fix (remain little blurry but at least it work on wayland instead of X11 (battery drain etc)).
add : --force-device-scale-factor=1
Fixing the version is not really recommended since you will avoid all security fixes that come with update.
same issue on KDE, downgraging to
1.50.125fixes the issue.
