Description stasyukartem2 2025-02-07 12:30:07 UTC
Description:
I am using LibreOffice already for a long time with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 flag, because the UI is too small under QT6 with fractional scaling. In the settings I use the same automatic values. Also, no matter how big the UI gets, the style selector is the same small size, which makes it impossible to use, due to scrolling problems.
(The version is unspecified, because this is a very old issue)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Writer (for example) under KDE
2. Choose the Tabbed UI under the User Interface settings
3. Apply to All

Actual Results:
The tabbed UI becomes cropped to the left, and the styles selector gets very small without detailed scrolling.

Expected Results:
The UI should be bigger throughout the whole tabbar, and the style scrolling should be bigger, or at least normally scrollable.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I use Wayland, the fractional scaling is set to 125% on a 1080p screen. The issue appears only with fractional scaling and QT.

QT6 150% Fractional scaling UI

As you see, the issue is still present on 150% view, so theoretically, in general fractional scaling is unstable.
