Describe the bug

When I open a new neovide window, the scaling is wrong. As soon as I resize the window (or something just start typing), then the scaling fixes itself.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get neovide 0.16.2
  2. Open a file.
  3. Notice the scaling effect.
  4. See screenshot below.

Expected behavior

I expect the scaling to appear correctly.
