I just switched from i3 to sway. Zathura scrolling (i have smooth scrolling disabled) is laggy and choppy on sway. Here are the things I've tried:

• I have a 2k display and I'm using fractional scaling (1.5x). Setting the scale to 1x or 2x makes the scrolling smooth again.
• Running zathura with gtk backend set to x11 also makes it scroll smoothly (even at 1.5x scaling).
• Zooming out on the pdf to original size gives smooth scrolling on wayland. Zooming back in to fit to width gives smooth scrolling immediately for about quarter of a second before becoming choppy again.

Is there a way to fix this, or should I just run it on x11 backend?

I have a laptop with a 2240x1400 display, and an external monitor with a 1400x900 display. I simply want to mirror my laptop screen to the monitor. Using xrandr --same-as scales down the screen on my laptop display, and using --scale-from or --transform shows the correct output on the monitor but makes my laptop display blank. How do I achieve this simple task?
