Package: libreoffice-gtk3 Version: 1:5.2.0-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
libreoffice with the libreoffice-gtk3 package installed fails to render correctly when the environment variables GDK_SCALE and/or GDK_DPI_SCALE are set to values not equal to 1. This can be verified by starting libreoffice as follows: $ GDK_SCALE=2; GDK_DPI_SCALE=1; libreoffice Background: These variables are used be people with high density screens (such as those in modern laptops) to obtain a reasonable widget and font size. A common setup is to export export GDK_SCALE=2 export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 in .xinitrx or similar. Thereby GTK_SCALE=2 scales all widgets in gnome applications by a a factor of 2 and GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 reduces the font size back to the original size, as modern fonts are already rendered in a way that takes into account the dpi of the screen. Somewhat surprisingly for me, libreoffice, as opposed to other Gnome apps, already looks reasonable on a high dpi screen with GDK_SCALE=1 and GDK_DPI_SCALE=1. So a workaround for the reported problem is to always start libreoffice with: $ GDK_SCALE=1; GDK_DPI_SCALE=1; libreoffice -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libreoffice-gtk3 depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.10 ii libatk1.0-0 2.20.0-1 ii libc6 2.23-5 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.10-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.106-1 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-11 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.34.0-1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 11.2.2-1 ii libglew1.13 1.13.0-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.49.6-1 ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 9.0.0-2.1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.21.5-3 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.2-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.2-1 ii libreoffice-core 1:5.2.0-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-11 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii uno-libs3 5.2.0-2 ii ure 5.2.0-2 Versions of packages libreoffice-gtk3 recommends: ii libreoffice-style-tango 1:5.2.0-2 Versions of packages libreoffice-gtk3 suggests: ii libreofficekit-data 1:5.2.0-2 -- no debconf information
