I don't see any obvious cause for your problems in those text files, I'm afraid. Both seem to relate to the mouse cursor's apparent and real positions not being lined up right, or rather that in some circumstances that happens whereas in others they line up just fine. Quite bizarre.
What's especially odd is you say you get the gui_scale tooltip issue in Windows too; I must have recommended that option dozens of times to Windows users by now and so far as I know none have seen that effect - I'm sure they would have told me!
Similarly with your issues on Linux; we'd know for sure if everyone got those!
I really don't know what to suggest, in all honesty. There doesn't seem to be any kind of tech tweak we can use to get you past these issues.
Thank you for the response

This does seem to be the issue. I have partially narrowed the problem down to being something to do with the Xorg/X11 window system's panning feature. If you don't already know, X is the most used window system on linux as of now. The feature appears to be for when the user is zoomed in on something with the entire display (forcing it to render a section of the entire desktop) and to pan around by touching the mouse on the sides/corners of the screen. A useful feature for sure, but as of now I don't quite know why it's activating while I'm running EU4 at lower than native display resolution. I'll keep digging and hopefully find a way to turn it off.

This is especially odd. I just booted up my windows dualboot on my main pc and tested it again to confirm that it happened on windows as well, and sure enough it did. I have also tested it on my laptop which also has a 4k screen just like my main pc, and sure enough the issue is persistent on the laptop as well in both linux and windows for me. While the laptop is nowhere near powerful enough to actually play EU4 at 4k in the first place, this does hopefully confirm that this isn't a configuration issue on my part. This due to the fact that I have experienced the issue on fresh installations of linux (ubuntu included) as well as windows without any strange settings configurations which might screw up the way the computer renders EU4. I am equally as puzzled as to why other people haven't experienced this issue as I'm sure you are.
>Similarly with your issues on Linux; we'd know for sure if everyone got those!
I have no doubt that you would be aware of more widespread issues, and I would be fully convinced that the problem is due to something on my end if it weren't for the fact that both my computers replicate the issue even on fresh OS installations. I can't really know at this point whether it's a me problem or an eu4 problem, but I'll act under the assumption that it's a me problem for the time being as I keep trawling the internet trying to solve these issues.

No problem. Thank you again for taking the time to try and help resolve this issue. I'll keep looking into that panning feature of X11 so perhaps I can run EU4 at 1080p on my 4k monitor on linux (like I do on windows) as that would be my preferred solution. If all else fails, I can live with the tooltip problem if I run the game at 4k with the gui upscaled, but I haven't given up yet.
