SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** Setup: - 14inch laptop, resolution: 2880x1800, 150% scale - ultrawide screen, resolution: 2580x1080, 100% scale - using wayland. Opening libreoffice calc onto the external screen creates HUGE icons. They seem to be 2x in every direction as he original icons should be (compared to Mozilla Firefox icons). Moving all the window to the notebook screen scales the window and icons/buttons to their expected size. Interesting to see, that the switch between the "normal" and "toobig" size happens when the windows is fully moved to either of the screens. Moving it only partially retains the "size" from the previous screen. I thought it may be related to GTK but Gimp does not show the same behaviour. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Two screen with different scale on wayland (I guess these are the trigger points) 2. Open LibreOffice Calc (it happens with Writer or Impress as well) OBSERVED RESULT Bad scale on the external screen, with 100% scale factor opposed to the original scale with 150% scale factor. Talking about good vs bad scale is based on comparison of the buttons/icons inside the window to icons/buttons in other apps on the same screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 5.19.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz Memory: 15,4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics Manufacturer: TUXEDO Product Name: TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I gladly give more information, but it may take some time, as I only sporadically use this setup (about once a week).
I can't reproduce this with LibreOffice 7.3.5.2 and current git master version of everything KDE. Can you please: 1. Mention which LibreOffice version you're using 2. Mention which frontend UI for LibreOffice you're using (the KDE UI or the GTK UI) 3. Attach a screenshot that shows the problem Thanks!

Thanks for the triage Nate! I added two screenshots, *big is on the external screen, while *small is on the laptop screen. I put firefox and dolphin on the image, behind libreoffice for reference. Libreoffice version is: 7.3.6-2 and I'm not sure about the UI. Can you give me some pointers, how can I check?
You're welcome! Based on the screenshots, it looks like you're using the KDE UI. I feel fairly confident that this is a bug in LibreOffice itself. it looks like it's failing to scale itself according to the screen it's on, and is instead treating the highest scale factor it finds (or the scale factor of the primary screen, if your laptop is the primary) as global. ...which is it on X11, so that's not totally unreasonable. But on Wayland it's per-screen, and it needs to gain knowledge of this and scale itself accordingly. I'd encourage you to file a bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org.
