Wrong UI scaling under Linux (huge icons / text)

From a QCAD user:
When starting QCAD under Linux, the icons are too big / other UI elements seem to have the wrong size.

Please edit the start file "qcad" and change the line

Code: Select all

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DIR" "$binary" "$@"
to:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$DIR" "$binary" "$@"
