Issue: MC26 GUI issue with MadVR adjusting image resolution and or aspect ratio

Actually it's not only related to the DPI settings. ANY modification of the image by MadVR will cause this. Something as simple as specifying the Anamorphic Lens option that shows once you select the "Digital Projector" option on MadVR and setting a non 4x3 value will cause the same issue.
Pure and simple, it relates to MC assuming that the screen area that corresponds to the native display resolution is the proper area to base it's GUI on. However, once MadVR makes any kind of changes to the displayed image, this assumption is now invalid.
I know fixing this would be a challenge to the developers, but they put themselves in this position by choosing MadVR as the preferred renderer. (I agree the choice was made for good reason as MadVR is clearly the best renderer in the market.)
Unfortunately it simply doesn't work well for at least two subsets of MadVR users:
1. 3D with a 4K display
2. home theater users with an anamorphic lens.

Just try setting your Windows Scale text to 100% ... and see if that bar is still usable
EDIT: that settings is Windows setting (not MC setting) found in Display setting of Windows OS
Movieman:
Windows 8.1 here, not Windows 10. Don't see that option under Windows - Text.

EDIT: I am pulling terns from my head ... sorry ... above link says how to do that
Movieman:
Sorry, at 100% everything (icons, text, etc) is unusable, just too small on my Samsung 55" curved display at 24" viewing distance. Running at 3840 x 2160 resolution. My control panel has the slider, but no description radio buttons. I'm running with the slider 1 notch from the right.
