Description solarcolombia 2019-08-15 16:02:41 UTC
Description:
While the GUI looks perfect on the retina screen of the mbp15retina(late2013, double GPU, blurry text effect on both devices) - no external screen, text and numbers are blurry no matter what random settings are chosen in the app preferences. OpenGL settings, font antialiasing, etc. are irrelevant and seem to have no effect on libreoffice UI. as soon as the cell content is edited however, the font looks crisp as the UI. by editing another cell, the font blurres out again. no problems with versions up to 6.2.5

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any document...
2.
3.

Actual Results:
permanent issue

Expected Results:
to be finally solved


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
this bug appears and disappears from version to version and is extremely(!) annoying.

this is not a duplicate of bug 122218 since with 6.1.. there was no problem at all.

While bug 122218 started with 6.1.4, as Xisco notes, at 6.3.0 patch for bug 124271 [1] changed rendering. Tomaž confirms HiDPI work on macOS for Retina now needs additional work by LO to restore clarity. That is bundled in tdf#122218

[1] tdf#124271 use the bitmap context, handle scaling
