ImageVector is blurry when used with Image() + Modifier.scale()

[alexstyl]

Describe the bug

When I use an Image holding an ImageVector and I scale it say x4, the end result is a blurry image instead of a scrip one.

Code:

Box(Modifier.fillMaxSize(), contentAlignment = Alignment.Center) {
        Row {
            Image(Add, null, Modifier.scale(1f))
            Spacer(Modifier.width(40.dp))
            Image(Add, null, Modifier.scale(4f))
        }
    }

Affected platforms
I tried on Desktop

Additional context
ImageVector I used:

val Add: ImageVector by lazy {
    ImageVector.Builder(name = "add", defaultWidth = 40.0.dp, defaultHeight = 40.0.dp, viewportWidth = 40.0f, viewportHeight = 40.0f).apply {
        path(fill = SolidColor(Color(0xFF212121)), fillAlpha = 1f, stroke = null, strokeAlpha = 1f, strokeLineWidth = 1.0f, strokeLineCap = StrokeCap.Butt, strokeLineJoin = StrokeJoin.Miter, strokeLineMiter = 1f, pathFillType = PathFillType.NonZero) {
            moveTo(20f, 31.458f)
            quadToRelative(-0.542f, 0f, -0.917f, -0.396f)
            quadToRelative(-0.375f, -0.395f, -0.375f, -0.937f)
            verticalLineToRelative(-8.833f)
            horizontalLineTo(9.875f)

            close()
        }
    }.build()

There seems to be strong opinions on Slack whether this is a bug or not (discussion).

From my POV, I am using a vector, and I see a scale() modifier that doesn't scale the vector. the way image works internally sounds like an implementation detail to me.

The same scenario using html + css is trivial to achieve.

I'm happy to use an alternative API if available to achieve the same result.

Turns out the same behavior is present on Jetpack Compose. I was asked to open a new issue on Google's issue tracker.

Closing this one.
