Bug Description

in LibreOffice: Tools>Options…: the font of the dialog-window is too small;
same problem:
Help>About LibreOffice: the font of the dialog-window is too small;
it's because the VLC is set to qt5+cairo (this information can be found in: Help>About LibreOffice)

maybe this problem exists for more dialog-windows in LibreOffice;
this problem does not occur in the open/save-dialog-window (I think, it is because the open/save-dialog-window uses the LXQt File Dialog)

now run those 2 lines on the terminal:
sudo apt install libreoffice-kf5
sudo apt remove libreoffice-qt5

now the VLC is set to gtk3 (this information can be found in: Help>About LibreOffice)
now the font of the dialog-windows is not too small any more;
so, the problem has got something to do with the package libreoffice-qt5

Long story short: Lubuntu wants to use the qt5 VCL but we continue to discover more and more areas where the functionality is incomplete still relative to the other options.

Thank you so much for your bug report and making Ubuntu better!

There are some issues with Qt integration library already. However, due to resources vs priority, this is pretty low especially since there's a workaround.

Hello, I have the same issue. To be honest work with such small fonts is tiring.
