Incorrect scaling of native file picker

See original GitHub issue

VS Code Version Version: 1.40.2 (user setup) Commit: f359dd69833dd8800b54d458f6d37ab7c78df520 Date: 2019-11-25T14:54:45.096Z Electron: 6.1.5 Chrome: 76.0.3809.146 Node.js: 12.4.0 V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19033

Steps to Reproduce: Using a 4k display (mine is an XPS 15 7590 with OLED screen with 1080p extra monitor. This could be a windows problem, but I am not seeing it happen on other apps. Closest I have seen is when using Windows Explorer there is an awkward transition between 4k screen and normal screen.

Also notice VS Code is not correctly showing on non-4k screen. See image 4 below. The bottom of vs code is under taskbar. Changing task bar to top also doesn’t seem to fit properly.

File > Open Folder
Open Folder Modal is really large on 1080p screen, but normal on 4k screen.

I am having same issue. (I run dual monitors, one 4k, one 1080p. The File Picker opens so small it is very difficult to use.)
