[Interest] plugin trouble with webkit using QT_SCALE_FACTOR

Hi,

I really appreciate the option to globally scale qt applications with 
QT_SCALE_FACTOR. After some tweaking I have managed to work around most of the 
bugs that are still there.

Now qwebengine currently does not provide pdf support, so this is a major 
regression in 5.6 due to webkit being deprecated.

In the available webkit package (for self-compilation) the (pdf) plugin 
feature does not honor the QT_SCALE_FACTOR and plugins appear too small (the 
viewport is too small) and at the wrong position. Does anyone have a 
solution/patch for this or know how to fix it?

This is now a showstopper for the cool new scaling feature:-(

Thx
Frank
