[Qt-creator] Font size in Qt Creator 4.5.1 in Wayland

Hi,

When I launch Qt Creator 4.5.1 in a Wayland session, it has a
disturbingly enormous font size on its menus and GUI elements. This
doesn't happen on Xorg, though.

Is this a known issue or should I report a bug?
Is there a workaround?

Thanks & best regards,
Timur

I don't have a high DPI display, so not sure if we have the same
problem or not.

I just realized two things:

1. The official Qt installer didn't install the Wayland platform
plugin, so I think Creator must have been running under XWayland.
2. The issue is no longer present after logging out and then logging in
to the Wayland session again.

Cheers,
Timur
For me in Xorg on big monitor I have very small fonts and GUI
elements. Known issue and it is not clear to me why Hi/LowDPI Qt
improvements work fine in all Qt/KDE applications but not in Qt
Creator and Qt Maintenance Tool? Think this issue could be fixed by
applying modern UI style like Qt Curve or Breeze, but Qt Creator does
not allow this for now: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-

Reported issue: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-18631
Hope this will be fixed. Not comfortable to work with such very small
elements.
