UI breaks with output fractional scaling #2964

Describe the bug
Running on Linux with sway (wayland) as window manager, and laptop 4k monitor scale 1.5, the menus are broken

To Reproduce
With a 'sway' WM just add output eDP-1 scale 1.5 or similar to your config.
With other WM... I guess try changing to some fractional scaling?

Expected behavior
Proper menus.

Screenshots

Here I clicked the Help menu:

Here I clicked the Effect drop-down (which renders too high up, and small size, making it tricky to use)

Changing scale to 1 or 2 makes it work as expected.

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Linux 5.14.x with sway 1.6.1 (and also latest sway-git)
  • ./xLights-2021.38-x86_64.AppImage

xLights is not running on wayland directly (not supported by wxwidgets) and so has to go via xwayland
I'm guessing xwayland isn't handling the scaling properly.
Also the appimage includes it's own libraries for X etc - so there may be a mismatch happening.
If you manually compile does it behave the same?
