I've an issue with some of the programs, packettracer among them, having a zoomed in feel to them and it is eating up screen real estate. Unfortunately I have no idea how to switch to default nor what exactly caused it.

From picture below the icons are bigger than usual, even pixelated. I maximized window to show the extent of it (close, minimize and maximize buttons are visible once mouse is hovering at the menu bar).

Here's an example of what I see:

Compared to what it should look like:

Please ignore the launcher size --- it is irrelevant to the problem.

Program in question, packettracer was downloaded from here and installed from command line.
Running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with 1920x1080 resolution

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: wording

16.04 zoom

Also had this issue recently where the icons in packet tracer were over zoomed and pixelated when running in 1920x1080 (only looked right running at 1600x900).

I believe your issue is due to the environment variable, 'QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=auto' being set in /etc/profile during installation of packet tracer. When running 'env | grep QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO' the variable was set at 2.

For me, commenting this out and rebooting resolved the issue.

  Issue persisted on 18.10. Changing the QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO to 1 and reboot fixed the issue for me. Also, on Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2 libpng12 library is missing, which can be downloaded from here.
