Title:
  Display size detected incorrectly

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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!

  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!
