4K External Monitor greatly distorts GUI

Description

I use a 4K TV as an external monitor via HDMI on Ubuntu 18.04.

When I open VirtualBox, the default window size is huge and doesn't fit on my laptop screen, but the text is a normal size. When I move the window to the external monitor, the font and icon sizes become huge.

In either case, it's extremely difficult and frustrating to use in this condition, so I usually have to unplug the external monitor in order to use VirtualBox.

*I've been using VirtualBox almost daily for years now; it's the only reason I was able to make the jump to Linux as my daily driver. Thank You.
