Was this fix ever released? I’m still seeing the same behavior with a mixed display setup. The Taskbar icon on a 4k laptop screen is a tiny dot. The icon on the large HD monitor is normal. If it helps the 4k screen has a 250% scale factor, and the HD monitor has a 100% scale factor.

Update after 0.51.0 release:
I still had the small taskbar icon despite the mention in the release notes:

Windows app icon is now crisp and correctly sized in Start menu and Taskbar. Thanks to @j17!

I tried unpinning and repining it to the Windows Taskbar and now the icon looks normal! Thanks!

it’s a different problem and I think this is actually some electron bug
