Description Henrik Gebauer 2025-09-03 20:03:36 UTC
Description:
Whenever I change my display (by plugging-in or plugging-off an external screen) LibreOffice's user interface has wrong sizes. Buttons, toolbar items and captions are either giant or tiny. The document itself is also displayed in a wrong size. Only the menu has the correct size. This also affects new LibreOffice windows. The only way to fix it is to close every single LibreOffice window and restart LibreOffice.

Steps to Reproduce:
A)
1. start LibreOffice on a small laptop screen
2. change display to a larger external screen

or:

B)
1. start LibreOffice on a large external screen
2. change display to a small laptop screen


Actual Results:
A) user interface is giant
B) user interface is tiny

Expected Results:
A+B) user interface has normal size


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

the screenshot was taken after I started LibreOffice on my laptop screen and then switched to an external screen. The menu has the correct size, everything else i giant.

Thank you for the report. I believe this is the same issue as bug 141578, a long-standing problem with the kf5 VLC and Wayland in a multi-monitor setup.
