That's not harmful, just a fact.

I've:
- been constructive
- pointed out exactly where the issue is and what is wrong
- showed screenshots pointing it out even more clearly (since some people
apparently just don't get it)
- searched for dozens of solutions
- etc...

It is an issue, but doesn't seem to be recognized by the plasma team
(besides Marco).
That is harmful!

I'm very pesky when it comes to visual details. I can't stand things that
are inconsistent or slightly off. If i have this issue on two installations
(one not even using Plasma, just installed frameworkintegration to prove my
case) then a lot more people will run into this as well. It should be
something you - specially you with the font based scaling - care about and
would like to resolve.

Wasn't there a paper cut project? Going the last mile? Making plasma just
that more polished that it really feels like a well developed and pleasure
to use desktop environment?

It certainly was on it's way to do just that (this is a compliment!). I saw
improvements and things really are getting better all the time, see another
compliment.

As for re-reading the code of conduct or manifesto. I have better things to
do.
