Hi Sebastián!

This seems like a variant of #884956 in Qt. Possible workarounds include
setting QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0. See the bug for more details.

Reassining and merging.

And why does a VLC stable update triggers this?

Note that I'm not saying it's a Qt bug, but it's strange that a stable update suddenly makes the bug present.
