LibreOffice sizing is wonky
Hi,
this is a fresh install of 24.10 on a laptop with an additional external screen. Nothing went wrong, everything worked out of the box. There's just a minor issue with the external screen that I would like to fit.
1) When I open libreoffice (eg Calc) on the external screen, the scaling between the header and the cells is WAY off. I'm attaching a screenshot. If the header is at a 'normal size', comparable to the size it's also on my primary screen, the cells become minuscule to a point where you can barely read the column/row names. See here: https://imgur.com/UJX5gRo I would like to find a way to have the resolution of the menu be aligned with the resolution of the cells.
2) When using VSCode in full screen mode on the external screen, the menu will open on the other screen. Even though it's done this from the get go, I just can't get used to it.. and I suspect that here as well it's an issue with resolution/the external screen. As it will open the menu inside the app (like a normal dropdown) if the window isn't maximised or if it's opened on the internal screen. An example of how it looks like is here: https://imgur.com/tO5xMRa
I suspect the two issues are linked as they both only appear on the external screen but I don't know what's causing it. I've tried to switch 'Legacy applications (X11)' from 'apply scaling themselves' to 'scaled by the system'. It didn't change the issue, but everything became a little blurry.
One other thing I have noticed is that the screens don't 'match'. The full width of the primary screen is mapped to the upper 2/3rds of the secondary screen and the lower part of the screen. A video is linked here: https://imgur.com/a/pKhwUcV Is it possible to have the two screens scaled so that they are considered the same height?

Let me know if you need any other information
