Description
After updating to the new version of virtualbox, the whole interface is scaling up. I attach a picture of the the interface itself.
I went and uninstalled the package called virtualbox-qt and installed the previous version of it and everything went back to normal. This might have to do something with bug #15707.
I'm running openSUSE Tumbleweed, gnome, full HD 14"

Looks like Qt UI of VirtualBox incorrectly detects HI-DPI display, and then the virtualization display just reuses that broken setting. I'm also experiencing this problem on the latest (5.1.10_SUSE r112026) Tumbleweed build.
Workaround for me is to set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 environmental variable when starting VirtualBox.
With HI-DPI spaling turned off manually, everything works almost correct, just window size detection is a little bit off (and because of that the "Adjust screen size to window size" mode doesn't work 100% as expected, keeping scrollbars.)
Here is a bit more information
