Only with the experimental fractional scaling enabled. If you disable it, your X11 apps will be sharp too.

(No, I don't know why it still isn't fixed yet.)

the laptop has a 13 3:2 display with 2160x1440

i cannot run it at 200, 150 is perfect, i need fractional scaling

That's odd. I run a 4K display at 150% and DataGrip (same codebase as IntelliJ) and VSCode look fine.

can you share your setup or screenshot ? have you enabled fractional scaling gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
