LibreOffice Writer UI zooms in on other monitors

+1
−0

I have LibreOffice on KDE/Wayland. I have several monitors with different aspect ratios, pixel density, etc. For some reason, Writer only looks right on the highest-DPI screen (with the smallest physical dimensions). The others have the UI for Writer embiggened to a comic degree.

How can I tell Writer to use normal UI scaling on my other monitors? I especially want this for the portrait-orientation one.

It's icky, but the generally accepted practice until this bug is fixed seems to be disabling Wayland when launching LibreOffice:

WAYLAND_DISPLAY= SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kf5 /usr/bin/libreoffice
