Description donaldbrown2019 2019-02-25 21:45:55 UTC 
Description:
Since updating to version 6.2.0, all text in editors and menus that are part of LibreOffice has become blurry and difficult to read. As far as I can tell, this applies to all components of LibreOffice.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open LibreOffice

Actual Results:
All text renders as incredibly blurry and unreadable outside of window decorations and the "File Edit etc" bar.

Expected Results:
I expected text to render as it does normally, in a readable manner.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

I cannot reproduce with

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 73e32aff2a3b8325daf36060140878fe34c46956
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: kde5;

This *might* be related to tdf#121283 which has been fixed in the meanwhile.

Could you please retest whether the issue is fixed with a newer LibreOffice version, e.g. one of the daily builds of the master branch available at [1]? [2] describes how you can install those in parallel.

Also, are you using a fractional scale factor, as described in bug 124292?

> Also, are you using a fractional scale factor, as described in bug 124292?

Yes, I am using a scale factor of 1.5 on my system, and now that I look at that bug, it looks exactly the same as my issue. 

As a quick update, I've tested in 2.2.2-2 and this is still the case.

Thanks for the update!

Let's mark this as a duplicate of bug 124292 then.
