Description Yunis Yilmaz 2025-11-13 00:14:08 UTC 
Description:
I'm using KDE Plasma 6.5.1 and KWin (Wayland).

I have 3 monitors. Two 1080x1920 24" monitors and one 2560x1440 27" monitor.
The 24" monitors are scaled to 100%. The 27" monitor is scaled to 117.5%.

When I open any LibreOffice application on my 27" display, the UI is scaled unreadably small. This is the case with either "Apply scaling themselves" or "Scaled by the system" applied for scaling legacy applications (X11).

When moved to one of the 24" displays, the UI is perfectly fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any LibreOffice application

Actual Results:
UI too small

Expected Results:
UI normal


Reproducible: Always

Hey Yunis, I tested this out on my 49 Inch Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC and I was not able to reproduce this bug.

I am on:
Version: 25.8.3.2 (AARCH64)
Build ID: 8ca8d55c161d602844f5428fa4b58097424e324e
CPU threads: 11; OS: macOS 15.6.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I did have a clarifying question, though. Are you able to adjust the scaling once it's moved to the 27'' monitor? Or, is it stuck in the small scaling?
