Just to be clear-- are you saying that OpenOffice correctly handles HiDPI in its GUI while LibreOffice does not?

When you say "the controls are where they should be," do you mean that the icons in OpenOffice are both properly sized in the GUI window as well as having the correct hitboxes?

I'd love to see some screenshots of the two side-by-side if you have some.

It's probably upscaled but it works correctly.

Yes.

Please check HiDPI bug list for screenshots. After a little bit of tweaking it turns out that disabling "Full OpenGL rendering" in settings fix these issues. Now LibreOffice looks and works just like AOO.
