Parts of an app in Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't obey display scaling

I've set the display scaling to 2 and most apps scale accordingly. There's a particular software "COMSOL" that apparently scales, but there's a graphics window, which is for in-app visualization, that doesn't scale. But the scaling is not the only problem. The main issue is that as a result of the broken scaling, the mouse cursor has an annoying offset (roughly 600-700 pixels in both x and y directions). I wonder if there's a manual recipe that I can fix this. I'm fairly sure that the offset issue is an artifact of the broken scaling since when I set the display scaling (system-wide) back to 1.0, there's no offset. See the two images for more clarity. Btw, I have a 4K monitor, which is why I need 2x scaling. I also have an NVIDIA K2200 running on proprietary driver.

          List *all* the tuples!

          Image
          27 4 $begingroup$ Write a program, given an input n , will generate all possible n-tuples using natural numbers. n=1 (1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6)... n=2 (1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,2),(1,3),(3,1),(2,3),(3,2),(3,3)... n=6 (1,1,1,1,1,1) (1,1,1,1,2,1) (1,1,1,2,1,1)... The output may be in any order that does not break any other rules. The program must be written to run forever and list all applicable tuples exactly once, in theory. In reality, your program will reach your integer type's limit and crash. This is acceptable as long the program would run infinitely long if only your integer type was unlimited. Each valid tuple must be listed within finite time, if only the program were allowed to run that long. The output may, at your option, include zeroes in addition to the natural numbers. You may choos...
