Thanks for reporting but it has been reported numerous times before, for instance #227. This is because of Wayland and fractional scaling (that 125% you have there)

We already have a section in our documentation for this:

https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/wayland-help/#4k-displayed-and-fractional-scaling

Try changing the numbers to get it right for your screen.

I thought mine was the same issue, but seeing screenshots from another issues, they are using multiple display, While my laptop is using 1 display.

I might missed screenshots or replies describing the same as mine, but the the solution doesn't work with my laptop at all. The issue still happening even with export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="1;1"

The problem is still as I following the instruction and run

export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="1;1"
flameshot gui

Archlinux 6.5.6-zen, wayland 1.22.0-1, flameshot 12.1.0-3.

The problem is still as I following the instruction and run

export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="1;1"
flameshot gui

Archlinux 6.5.6-zen, wayland 1.22.0-1, flameshot 12.1.0-3.

I can confirm this doesn't working, either

I also have this problem.
Changing the "QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS" does change the location of the pink flameshot instruction window, but does not change anything about the zoomed out preview.
The screenshot is, however, saved with the correct dimensions regardless.

I also have this problem. Changing the "QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS" does change the location of the pink flameshot instruction window, but does not change anything about the zoomed out preview. The screenshot is, however, saved with the correct dimensions regardless.

I have exactly this happen as well. Kubuntu 23.10. Tried a bunch of different numbers for QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS (and also QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR just for giggles) and nothing changes the preview size, only the size of the pink flameshot overlay.

Same here with Ubuntu 24.04 Wayland with 150% fractional scaling. The UI changes when playing with the environment variables, but the zoomed-in screen still remains.

Same problem on Fedora 41 gnome-shell 47 with wayland session.

I have this issue as well, and the documented workarounds with QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS do not fix it for me.

I have the same issue on Nobara KDE. 125% scaling was set, and setting it back to 100% fixed it. Resolution is 2560*1600 on Nvidia

Playing around with the various QT variables mentioned here, I got a passable result using QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.65 flameshot gui, whereas I could not get QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS to work.
