            Bug ID: 140390
           Summary: In Libreoffice 7.1, Writer does not scale with an
                    external monitor
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
After installing 7.1, I noticed that documents which I would open on my macbook
pro (2015) would not scale when moved to an external monitor. On the external
monitor, the document becomes smaller (takes up about a quarter of the real
estate of the window for Libre Office), and I cannot alter that. Afterward,
documents continue to open in that fashion, regardless of where I open them. 
If I make the external monitor my primary monitor, this seems to solve the
problem, but this is not desirable for me. 
A clean reinstall of 7.1 (first removing all references to the program)
resulted in the same problem.
With the previous version of Libre Office (7.0.4) I did not have this problem.
I have reïnstalled that version, and it works fine in the above scenario. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Join macbook pro to external monitor (Samsung T35F) via HDMI
2.Start Writer and open/create new document on macbook screen
3.Move document to eternal monitor

Actual Results:
Document becomes smaller, (occupies much less real estate in the Writer
window), and cannot be resized. All document functions of the program seem to
work. But zooming, for example, does not change the real estate the document
uses within the video for Writer.

Expected Results:
The document should have continued to fill the window for Writer. No other
software exhibits the behavior described above (also not other word processing
programs).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
On Libre Office 7.0.4 this problem does not occur. I have reinstalled that
version on my macbook.
