HiDPI issue with BSPWM in all distros

Good Evening Guys..

I have been facing a strange issue with BSPWM (in all distro, i have notified in every forum looking for any suggestion). I'm facing a HiDPI issue in a very random yet unusual way.. after recent update iin archlinux ny configs are working as random HiDPI issue, such as conky lxappearance virtualbox kdenlive etc.. I'm having this issue in Garuda also..

i checked my scaling but it was 1x with 1920x1080 res so i guess it is ok. couldn't figureout what is the issue.. If anyone faced such issue... please suggest my how to solve..

Post your inxi as it was described in the template, please.

Otherwise, I will close here.

Check the cables.

Check other DE's too. KDE, Xfce ...

only in BSPWM ... i tried other DEs and WMs... but only BSPWM has this issue in all distros in my laptop as well as on VMs too... this happened after recent update..
