Herratic Size Font/Icon when I'm using an external Screen

Hi;

I'm sorry to kinda duplicate my issue, but I'm unable to change the title of it and by the answered of @Aravisian i/we figure it is not really related to XFCE, but I still don't know where else I should post for help with it so here we are with more info

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04LTS with XFCE 4.12 everything was fine until last week, I think it's an update and/or I uninstalled another apps which probably had dependencies, ... but I can't figure when and why it is like that right now.

The apps are affected VLC, GIMP (with a solution) and qOwnNotes. It don't seams related directly  to XFCE because when I play with font and size through Appearance and Windows Manager these apps don't respect the change.

While I was posting the issue on qOwnNotes GitHub crazy thing happened.

Basically if I unplug my HDMI screen everything is fine on my laptop screen which the resolution is: 1920x1080

Then if I plug back my HDMI and use is as a mirror everything still fine but the Mirror setting is not fully applied

But if I try Dual Screen it is not fine

It is also weird if I Enforce the Mirror setting http://i.imgur.com/hsKr0Gb.png
and my Laptop screen resolution fallback to 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080

This drive me crazy : Please Help Me

ok we could close this issue because it is related to QT not to XFCE

If I may post an Opinion:
What you learn while working ON the Desktop XFCE environment may not always relate to the code of XFCE, but it can still be helpful to know how other code behaves on XFCE. I would encourage the thread to continue.
