Steps to reproduce
- be on a multi monitor setup on a kde wayland session (I am not sure if there should be different scaling options for both the monitors, but I do since its necessary as one of the screens is smaller than the other one)
- download obsidian appimage v1.8.4 for linux
- mark it as executable using
chmod +x - in the terminal, launch it in wayland mode using these flags:
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland - I get some errors which are given below
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes, I followed the steps
Expected result
Obsidian launches in wayland with crisp sharp text
Actual result
- I get the following errors:
./Obsidian-1.8.4.AppImage --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

- Also, obsidian launches, but has a blank window
Environment
SYSTEM INFO:
Obsidian version: v1.8.4

Please note that I launched the obsidian app from the appimage without any additional flags to get this debug info. Launching without flags launches it in xwayland mode which gives blurry text on wayland with multiple monitors having different fractional scaling
Additional information
- I found out from the developer tools (in the xwayland mode) that the appimage uses electron version “33.3.2”. My system electron version 33.4.0 which is installed from arch linux repos launches fine on wayland with multiple monitors.
- Obsidian launches fine when I turn off one of my monitors on the wayland session when run using the same flags as above that is
./Obsidian-1.8.4.AppImage --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland, although I still get some errors
