Ubuntu 15.10 Libre Office 5.0.2.2 Writer Tools > options > LibreOffice > View > Interface scaling Scaling works for normal range, but after set to 300% cannot reduce Drop-down menu overlays options text box Cannot enlarge options box enough. Uninstall and reinstall from Ubuntu repository keeps same settings
As a workaround, you can rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux)
Would be good to limit that setting, to prevent this inconvenience.. Please change the issue to such a request. (Could it be that I've seen an issue on this already?)
Max scaling is 400%, see http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/uiconfig/ui/optviewpage.ui#7 ux-team: at which max should we put this?
We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword: Component -> LibreOffice Add Keyword: needsUXEval [NinjaEdit]
UI scaling was remove with 5.2 (bug 101646). I believe those tweaks belong to the OS but when it's decided to bring it back all freedom to the user is my first idea (400%). On the other hand, with this setting the interface becomes too large to show the options dialog and reverting is not possible. But that depends on the screen, and on high resolutions 4x might be sane. No idea. Closing the issue since scaling was dropped.
