Description

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with fractional scaling when using Docker Desktop on Linux with Wayland. The UI becomes blurry or incorrectly scaled when using fractional display settings (e.g., 125%, 150%). The issue does not occur when using standard scaling values such as 100% or 200%.

Environment

Item Value
OS Fedora 43
Desktop Environment Wayland
Display Resolution 3840 x 2160
Docker Desktop Version 4.54.0

Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Linux desktop session using Wayland.
  2. Set display scaling to a fractional value (e.g., 125%, 150%).
  3. Open Docker Desktop.

Expected behavior

Docker Desktop UI should scale properly and look sharp with fractional scaling values.
