I just did the upgrade from Ubuntu 24.10 to 25.04 with `do-release-upgrade`.  
I usually have my laptop’s built-in screen scaled 200%, but after the upgrade it was set to 160%. I remember changes in the display settings happening in previous upgrades too but I did pay much attention to it. I have no idea where it comes from.  
Did anyone else experience this, and should I file a bug report ?

Hi - it doesn’t look like there are any reports in the KDE Bugtracking System of folks’ display scaling levels being changed by a Plasma update. I’d _guess_ that if there is an external cause to that issue on your device, it’d be from something in the Kubuntu upgrade process - it might be worth checking in the [Ubuntu Discourse forums](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/) for folks more familiar with that process.
