Description:
LibO has long supported DPI scaling, which automatically adjusts based on the desktop environment or operating system settings. However, the setting isn't always the most accurate and there's no user-visible configuration to adapt the interface scale.

At least on Linux distros, scaling, especially fractional scaling, is a hassle. Therefore, users in various communities have reported "issues". The primary solution is to add an argument like SAL_FORCEDPI=100 to libreoffice --writer or modify it with flatpak override if using an immutable distro, which is less intuitive for average users.

It would be ideal to see the scaling options in the appearance section or at least in the "advanced/open expert configuration" section. I don't know if LibO only has a global configuration or allows you to scale parts of the interface. Other applications allow you to scale the interface and fonts separately, or even sections of the interface (Jasp Stats allows you to scale its Ribbon interface independently of the rest).

In my particular case I have to lower the LibO scaling to 100% because using the global configuration of 125% the interface looks fine, but some windows dialog look so big that they go out of what is visible on the screen, such as options, which is very frustrating.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select a global scaling greater than the default, in my case 125%.
2.Open Libre Office
3.Open the options windows dialog

Actual Results:
The LibreOffice Options window is larger than the screen. The action buttons or title bar are not visible.

Expected Results:
The Options window and other windows within LibreOffice now scale correctly to global scale.
