I have encountered the same problem in Android Studio 3.3 but fortunately I've managed to find a solution. You have to go to "Help" and click on "Edit Custom Properties". It might ask you to generate a file if it doesn't already exist. Once this properties file is made, you will need to write "hidpi=false" (no quotations). Save it and restart Android Studio. When you open it again , you still need to do one thing: go to File then Settings, type font in search box, select font from editor then change the size of font to 15. (or what ever size you prefer). That's all.

I'm not sure weather it will work for your scenario. I had a issue with icon pixels and I followed this.
I hope it will help you.
Create a drawable-xxhdpi directory and add all your images in that and try.
NOTE : I'm not sure that this process helps you or not.

I solve this problem pretty easy after learning documentation.
You need to change your scale display parameter. Because Android Studio supports only certain scale. Use 100% or 200% and your design tab in Android will be sharp again
