The good news first: you're not hallucinating. Those really are large icons.
The bad news: when I compile your file, I get normal size icons.

I cannot find any non-default settings in your document that could 
account for what you are seeing. Grasping at straws, you might try 
looking at the full LaTeX source (View > Code Preview Pane, then select 
"LaTeX (pdflatex)" and "Complete Source" in the preview pane. This is 
what I get:

Do you see any differences at your end? For that matter, are you using 
pdflatex? (I tried a few other routes to PDF output, and none of them 
gave me Brobdingnagian symbols.)
Last possibility: I'm using TeXLive 2018. What LaTeX system are you using?
