Could this be caused by a localle or location setup on the Chromebook? I do not have Chromebook, but can imagine someone deciding that English or time zone selects all sorts of things, including metric paper size. If this theory is valid US-english and/or US timezone could make the difference.

Try matching DPI of your screen with your X settings. I do not experience this in KDE unless under VNC with mismatching DPI between the screen and what VNC-server thinks. Gnome under CentOS at works seems to behave same as KDE - pretty reasonably. Tomas On Fri, 2020-03-13 at 22:27 -0700,
