I booted up a live disk with Ubuntu 17.04 (Unity) and it shows the same behavior.
** Description changed: - Since Ubuntu switched to Gnome, display scaling does not work correctly. - This is because my external monitor is detected as 7" although it is - 32". All applications which use Qt auto scaling have huge controls! + My external monitor is detected as 7" although it is 32". All + applications which use Qt auto scaling have huge controls! It seems like many users have the same problem (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390362) and thus disable Qt auto scaling. I think the solution should be to fix the size detection instead. + + It seems not related to the display server, compositor or window manager + since the problem appeared in Ubuntu 17.04 (Mir, Unity) as well es 18.04 + (Mutter, Gnome).
