Description of problem:

Libreoffice is unusable on my new fedora 25-beta1.1 install. The ui elements are very large with text layout issues, and the main window is about twice as wide as the physical screen, but with drawing clipped to about 1/2 the width of the physical screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libreoffice 5.2.3.2-1.fc25

How reproducible:

Always. I thought it might be related to stable gconf setting from an account data restore, but it occurs with a new user account too.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch libreoffice
2. Observe screen.
3.

Actual results:

See screenshot.

Expected results:

Normal interface is available.

Additional info:

This is a Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd generation with a high-dpi screen. It looks like there's some confusion with the screen scaling and/or Wayland, but running from the command line with `GDK_SCALE=1` didn't affect the behaviour.

Having the same issue here.

This is on top of the UI scale already being broken on Fedora 24 - but at least then I had the whole document to work with, now I only get a quarter of it.

Might this be related to this bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99508

Sorry, not to spam the list, but, from the bug above:

This works (in that libreoffice renders correctly):
    env SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk libreoffice --writer

and this does not:
    env GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 libreoffice --writer

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2016-11-01 09:49:44 UTC
I'm going to file this under generic "bad hidpi" for now. There is some changes upstream in the last few days around hidpi toolbox image scaling that might help.
