Sure, I was trying it yesterday and wasn’t sure if it was my fault or it just doesn’t work for me, which is strange. I also wanted to go through the discussion which was mentioned - there also the change of environment variables is mentioned as a solution which seemed to help some people. Well, it didn’t help me. LO continues to behave as described.
And just FYI: Yesterday, while I was trying to answer all the posts, I was interrupted while checking out the suggestion and maybe other solutions, and could not get back to the PC to complete the answering process.
From that, we can now see that you’re using Plasma 6.5.3 which is currently only available in either the Unstable or Testing branches.
For future reference, specifying which Manjaro branch you are using can sometimes make all the difference in diagnosing an issue. For example, there may be a confirmed KDE bug present in one version, and not another.
Ok, that works, if I start LO from the K-Menu. However, I do it usually from the desktop. I tried to edit the entry and add the EnvVariable there as well, but that doesn’t work, it seems that this entry belongs to root and I don’t know how to edit such an entry as root (or how to change the owner). At least I have a workaround, that’s already something. Thank you very much!
@DrMartinus Can’t you change that in the application launcher and then create a new shortcut on the desktop?
I accidentally deleted the solution to the problem.
So, here it is again, the solution to the scaling problem:
Right-click on the application launcher in the window bar. Then select “Edit Applications”. Under “Office Applications”, select the individual Office suites. On the right side of the window, under “Environment Variables”, enter “QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb”.
Somehow it works now. Maybe it just needed a restart, even though I am sure I tried that before. At least now it opens with the proper UI size. Thanks a lot, Frank.und.Frei, for your suggestion!
That’s good, unfortunately the resolution isn’t the monitor’s. It’s a bit blurry, but it’s only meant to be a helpful tool, not a bug fix. I mean, LibreOffice is still buggy on multi-monitor setups with different resolutions.
