You mean when you move its window back and forth a few times, or do you=
 actually disconnect the external screen?

Do other KDE or Qt applications show this issue?

I've already been annoyed myself by the scaling feature in Win10 but us=

 Maybe it's worth checking if you can set the scaling of your external =
screen manually (at the OS level) to something appropriate and see if t=
hat addresses the "pumping" effect.

If you (can) build kdevelop yourself you could check if disabling `AA_U=
seHighDpiPixmaps` (in app/main.cpp) has any effect; you could be seeing=
 an interference between Qt's builtin support for high DPI screens and =
support already built into the OS.
