I had one like that uears ago. aftermarket bog seat and pan too far back.

IIRC one day the cistern had an issue and fitting a chleap plastic one
of smaller depth cured all the problems.

One of the long term plans :-) This WC happens to be in the bathroom as
the famous cracked bath. We solved the bath problem by using a
different bathroom, which also solved the WC lid problem, but, when we
did use it, I solved the problem as above or, during the night, always
sat rather than stood which meant I didn't need to turn a light on, and
could 'let go' without worrying about seeing to aim.
