scaling output is not respected w/wayland (no xwayland) and sway compositor

I am trying to see if I can squeeze a tad more real estate, so I ran
❯ swaymsg output \* scale .8
. Vivaldi separated from the system window and shrunk in an odd way, see below: The mouse tracking also broke.firefox, just to show the comparison (sorry :-))
When I reset the scale factor back to 1.0, it looks like this:
FWIW, I had tried the
Use Native Windows
setting, but that does not seem to help.It is a little odd, since I would think something like the swaymsg command would operate on a much lower level and vivaldi should not be aware of this type of operation.

@thrush8fort I would only scale by doubling or halving in Wayland. Or in general for that matter. You can use the interface zoom in Vivaldi directly however ☛
