Broken auto-scaling is a bug in Qt. If your monitor is incorrectly detected as 7", there's probably also a kernel or X.org bug somewhere.

This is because 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. Further, it seems not related to graphics driver, since I personally use the open source driver with my internal Intel card, whereas someone else uses a proprietary Nvidia driver (https://askubuntu.com/q/1066879/206608). If it is in the wrong category, please move it / add the corresponding packages. If you need any further information to tackle the problem, just tell me!
