The following might crash your system, so be cautious if trying:

  QT_SCALE_FACTOR=100 lyx

For me, it does not crash my system. It just opens a very large window
with jibberish, and in the terminal I see the following:

  ...
  QPainter::setPen: Painter not active
  QPainter::restore: Unbalanced save/restore
  QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted

I think that not crashing and not running out of memory is actually
pretty good, compared to what I expected.

Should we exit gracefully? Should we set a max? I'm fine with a
"wontfix" on this. I was just curious what others thought. I'm not sure
what kind of sanity checks LyX is responsible for.

Note that the Qt application CopyQ just put in the following fix for
this:
