OOTP and Windows text scaling

I am a recent convert to Windows 10 (Lord help me), and being visually impaired I find some of the text scaling settings quite useful. Unfortunately, OOTP doesn't find them quite as useful. Particularly, I refer to text scaling and, by extension, display resolution.

I've spent the better part of a week working on getting my PC in a shape that I can handle. I used to use 1280 x 720 resolution, but due to some programs misbehaving I went for 1920 x 1080, but went for 175% font scale / layout because it worked the best for my eyes. Tonight, I installed OOTP for the first time, and it appears that OOTP detects the font scale because it told me that my screen wasn't at the minimum 768 screen height. Well, since Windows doesn't detect a proper ratio between 1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080, I decided to drop my font scale to 150% -- not great, but bearable. Unfortunately, this another issue, in that the cursor placement appears to be slightly off. I have to be several pixels above where I want to be in order for the mouse click to register. Is this something that can be fixed? Also, the play drop-down menu is covered over by the big green CONTINUE button -- I can see the word PLAY, but nothing to the right of it.

Ah, well...at least I can read the fonts better, even if the free agent list has gone from 15 or so lines to seven.
