Summary
Kdenlive "cuts out" and cannot be maximized/properly resized on GNOME when using a 768p display. Works perfectly on Windows/KDE. Using QT_SCALE_FACTOR below a value of 1 bugs it out.
Issue
I am on a 1366x768p display laptop. I previously used Kdenlive on both Windows 10 and Fedora KDE and in both cases Kdenlive worked without any issues. However, on GNOME, Kdenlive "cuts out" at the bottom and window resizing/fullscreening doesn't work probably due to minimum height of the main window set too high.
Krita and GIMP both exhibit this behaviour but ONLY after I modify their UI elements/Dockers in such a way that the minimum height of those windows exceed 768p pixels.
I have tried to work around this by setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to 0.75,0.50 and 0.90 but in any value less than 1.00 the UI glitches out, although I can resize/maximize the main window just fine.
I then installed the Windows version of Kdenlive on Wine and the UI displayed correctly without any issues and I could resize/Maximize it to my heart's content, ironic that a FOSS Linux app's Windows version works better on Linux than the Linux native one.
