Operating System type and version

Description

After updating from Flameshot v13.0.1 to v13.1.0, the screen capture widget overlay (that allows you to preview and edit the screenshot) incorrectly scaled and smaller than it should be. This makes it harder to edit the image and the resulting image has aliasing artifacts.

Resetting the config does not help, but downgrading to v13.0.1 fixes this issue. It's presumably caused by the recent Linux multi-monitor fixes. This issue is NOT observed on Windows.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Flameshot v13.1.0 on Linux (tested on i3wm with X11)
  2. Take a screenshot in GUI mode
  3. Observe that the screenshot preview/edit widget has the wrong scale
  4. After copying/saving the screenshot, it's in the wrong size and aliased

Screenshots or screen recordings

Here's a screenshot taken by v13.0.1, which functions correctly:

Here's a screenshot by v13.1.0:

You can observe that the screenshot edit/preview is at the wrong scale (smaller than it should be) so it's not overlaying the entire display and also causing aliasing artifacts over the text.

FYI I captured the screenshots above over Moonlight/Sunshine.
