--- Comment #7 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
What I suspect is going on here is that you're experiencing the difference
between the Wayland session using Qt scaling, and the X11 session not using Qt
scaling and instead running at an effective scale of 1X but with larger fonts
and UI elements scaled up accordingly. This generally causes paddings and
margins to not scale up as much. So you are probably seeing things on Wayland
the way they were meant to be see, given that Qt scaling is in use.

If you're still experiencing this with Plasma 5.19 (or better yet, git master),
can you set PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in the environment, then clear the Plasma
SVG cache (`rm ~/.cacheplasma*) and then restart plasmashell and kwin
(`plasmashell --replace` and `kwin_x11--replace`) and let me know if the Plasma
X11 session suddenly looks like it does in the Wayland session?
