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.
