Blurry rendering on Wayland with double monitor + fractional scaling

[absporl]

Describe the bug

Text and other graphics look blurry using the app. I'm using Wayland with a built-in laptop screen and an external monitor. The external monitor is a 4K display with fractional scaling set to 150%.

When I have the window on the external monitor, the app looks blurry. When I have the window on the laptop screen (scaling 100%) it looks fine.

Expected behavior

I want text to look crisp, like when using a browser. Other Electron apps (e.g. Slack) do not seem to have this problem.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Operating System: Fedora 38 using GNOME + Wayland
• Zulip Desktop Version: 5.10.2

This is because Zulip is running in XWayland. Native Wayland support in Chromium and Electron apps is still experimental, but you can enable it by passing the arguments --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations.

this should be reopened;
because there exists ~/.config/electron-flags.conf, which zulip ignores. Everything else is a workaround, and there it would be implemented "correctly" imo, as other electron apps respect that file.

@erdnuesse This was never closed. But ~/.config/electron-flags.conf is entirely an Arch Linux invention, not an upstream thing. We aren’t involved with the Arch Linux package for Zulip Desktop; you’re welcome to ask its maintainers to update it to support that.

Entirely my bad, I've just seen the mention, that said closed, and didn't know about the arch specificity, so I just assumed it to be a thing. Apologies for the noise.
