> You will have friends and family using this thing! Warn them, get them onto LO!

I just installed LO 5.4 on HiDPI Windows. The LO home page (localized) advertised that "LibreOffice 4 (sic!) just arrived". Unfortunately it went downhill from there: the HiDPI support is kind of not really present. Icons have negative margins (are halfway visible) and what's even worse the hit targets are not where the icon lies! So you select item N from a list and item N-1 gets selected.

I get it that OO is now evil due to Oracle but LO is just not usable. I know, I know free software but advertising LO to my family and friends would be the quickest way of getting them to not to ask me any IT related advice. Which may be a good side effect in itself.

Edit: I just tried AOO. It works. Looks a little bit dated but the controls are where they should be and everything I tested works correctly.
