For what it's worth, LibreOffice is GTK3, GIMP is GTK2. Geany can be built with
either. Lyx appears to be QT5. So it looks like it's QT that's acting broken.
In the
case of Lyx/QT5, the problem may be an unsuitable default theme rather than a
resolution problem, in which case qt5ct may be able to fix it for you.

I do not know what to say ... qt5ct fails because an environment variable
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME was not set ... wtf??? Ok, I set
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
and now lyx works as expected. If you wonder, the firse line is for VLC: without it, VLC
has buttons as big as a football. That GUI mess is growing like cancer :-(

It
affects all TDE applications.
Firefox is also affected (see below).
geany and libreoffice are OK.
gimp 2.10 is OK (besides the fact that some genius broke the layers tab).
This is backwards from what I expect, though my expectations are limited by lack of
familiarity
with apps above mentioned and lyx. Most of my installations are lean, so no Gimp or LO.
This box
has Gimp 2.8 and LO 6.04. LO I use too little to know what to expect. Gimp's main
menu bar text
matches the OS. In the rest of Gimp, everything is tiny enough to cause headache and
backache if
used longer than very briefly.
