When opening the AppImage of Musescore, the text in the task bar and palettes is extremely small for all resolutions lower than FHD (1920x1080). See the attached screenshots.
This problem does NOT occur with the Ubuntu PPA version 3.2.3 (meaning the text is well readable on a lower than FHD resolution).
The problem DOES occur with the AppImage versions 3.2.3, 3.4.2 and 3.5.0-Beta.
List of tested screen resolutions:
- 1920 x 1080 (16:9): fine
- 1680 x 1050 (16:10): PROBLEM
- 1600 x 1024 (3:2): PROBLEM
- 1600 x 900 (16:9): PROBLEM
- 1440 x 900 (16:10): PROBLEM

Typically this simply means MuseScore could not detect your monitor resolution correctly, and the "-D xxx" command line option (where "xxx" is the actual resolution in DPI) fixes it. I'm not familiar with situations where the AppImage works differently from others, though. Could involve the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable.
