Description Nate Graham 2024-08-16 20:31:49 UTC 
Description:
On systems with multiple screens, the UI is scaled according to the scale factor of the screen with the highest one, not the screen it's displayed on.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have two screens.
2.Set one to a higher scale factor than the other one in KDE's System Settings > Display & Monitor page.
3.Launch any of the LibreOffice apps and move them to the screen with the lower scale factor.

Actual Results:
The UI is scaled according to the scale factor of the screen with the highest one. If the highest scale factor is significantly higher than the lowest one, this can result in the UI being so large that the app is all but unusable.

Expected Results:
The UI scales according to the scale factor of the screen it's located on.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
