wow, a few years ago i was working in java world, and using intellij on a daily basis. any time i used a 4k monitor, i simply could not type anything or scroll through code without insane delay. i googled it and found a ton of people having the same issue. i could only sanely use intellij if i upscaled my resolution to its highest. is this all interconnected?
Same here, but recent versions are much better. If you take a screenshot when running one of the scaled modes on 4k it's actually rendering at a far higher resolution, which then gets scaled down. Almost 6K IIRC, which on a laptop is pretty much insane.
