Can you still reproduce it on 6.3.5 ?
I can’t (but I didn’t try before so I don’t have a reference point).

I seem to remember I backported a commit to fix a rounding issue with fractional scaling in one of the 6.3.5 packages but I can’t remember which one nor find it in the obvious candidates (kwin, plasma-workspace, plasma-desktop).
And there were many other fixes in kwin and plasma-workspace anyway.
