Description: When running on a Macbook with a retina built in display and a 1080p external display, LibreOffice seems to scale based on the retina screen irrespective of the display the app is currently on. When app is on external display everything is scaled and is very large, when on the built in display everything seems normal. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open app on Mac with retina display and 1080p external display 2. When App is moved between displays, it will display correctly on retina display but not on the external display. Actual Results: The UI seems to be very Zoomed in Expected Results: The UI would show the same on both retina and external displays. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.3.0.0.beta1 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 436f14c25ec1847646b953cf13d0db4f7ca3be57 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.15.7; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

Can you try disable Skia using the dialog by selecting the menu LibreOffice-Options-View-Use Skia for all rendering?
And what CPU do you have in your macbook?
The CPU in my MacBook is below. I will try to disable the option mentioned shortly and report back. 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

This is a known issue with M1 chips, and not just with LibreOffice, as from I have read elsewhere, Apple has voluntarily restricted the number of external resolutions it will support on this chips. You've reported this against an Intel-based Mac, which I used to have (MBPro Retina) with an external 1080p display attached, but I don't recall seeing similar problems at the time. This might already have been reported in an earlier report though.
This report sounds like a duplicate of bug 108801
I can confirm this issue; a freshly installed LO 7.3.0.3 on MacOS Catalina (Intel Mac) shows this issue. There's also an error in interpreting mouse positions. Disabling Skia solves this so far.
skia related problem it seems. it will be disabled by default in LibreOffice 7.3.1
I confirm that disabling Skia solve the issue, but with the drawback of loosing hardware accelerated rendering which make animations (for example in Impress) slugish. Another workaround which allows to keep Skia enabled is to use mirror mode for the external display instead of extended display. Until a real fix is made to make every situation work with Skia enabled ;)
FWIW, Skia rendering is supposed to be turned off by default in the upcoming 7.3.1 release.
Yep that's a acceptable temporary workaround, but when Skia is disabled, performances on some cases like LibreOffice Impress in presentation mode with animations are quite sluggish. I hope you'll find a definitive fix soon to be able to use with Skia enabled in all use cases :)

Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you please try with LibreOffice 7.3.1 from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ ?
This seems to work for me when testing a fresh installation.
Any news on a real fix that doesn't require disabling Skia ?
(In reply to Bertrand Presles from comment #17) > Any news on a real fix that doesn't require disabling Skia ? SKIA is disabled by default on Mac, so if you use it, it's under your own responsibility
This is not worksforme. Actually it is persisting with current main build. However it is a dupe. Setting accordingly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 147342 ***
