Atom seems to be respecting the scale factor provided by KDE #18

I'm on KDE Plasma 5.8 on Debian Sid. KDE is already forcing a scale factor of 1.5. Previously (when I first dabbled in using Atom) a year ago, it didn't respect KDE's scale factor and its window would be rather tiny on my screen. I installed atom-hidpi and that set my scale factor to 1.5, it looked great but I soon forgot about Atom and went back to using Kate.

This week I started playing with Atom again (1.13.1). I've noticed that regardless of if the atom-hidpi package is installed or not, Atom maintains a pretty good scale factor (text isn't small, isn't big, is readabile). Forcing a larger or smaller scale factor on atom-hidpi has no effect for me. This leads me to believe that...

  1. Something has changed with Atom where it respects KDE's scale factor
  2. When Atom itself is dealing with scaling, atom-hidpi can't function.

If that is the case, there's another issue related to screen scaling I should file against Atom itself.

Ok, something changed. This seems to be working as expected now. Unsure what's up but will reopen if I see it again.
