Bad QT_SCALE_FACTOR and High-DPI support for 4K monitors

RV
1

Hi again,

Since rv is using Qt 5.15.3 (2022 versions), the High-DPI supported by QT is not correctly handled by the rv renderView.

Examples : under Linux : rv 2022.3.0 :

  • with 4K Eizo High-DPI screen device with a system that configure
    setenv QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING 1

: The renderView don’t fit the QT widget area correctly :

rv-screen_EIZO_4k_device-with-QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING-1
rv-screen_EIZO_4k_device-with-QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING-1870×997 64.2 KB

  • It’s possible to reproduice same artefacts under a classic screen device by setting a QT_SCALE_FACTOR env var != 1.0 :
    setenv QT_SCALE_FACTOR 1.8

and optionally :
setenv QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING 1

: screenshot with 2 values of QT_SCALE_FACTOR : 1.5 and 0.5 :

rv-2022-with-QT_SCALE_FACTOR
rv-2022-with-QT_SCALE_FACTOR1913×901 63.8 KB

Currently we have disable these kind of variables in an homemade rv launcher,
but the font size, icones, menus and others gui widgets are a little bit small.
So it’s not so urgent, but we hope you will find a better fix than deactivate this QT High-DPI support.

Regards,
Alec

Hey Alec,

great stuff.

The RV team does seem to follow threads on the forum but it may be good to bring this under the attention throigh a support ticket as well (just link to this forum thread).

That would make it officially logged as a bug.

Thanks @Ricardo_Musch !
I finally succeeded to validate my autodesk account.
And re post issues I saw in rv.
Hoping that it is now in the right place and that it will be taken into account.
