UI confused by multiple DPI settings

Description
Upgrading from 6.1.x to 7.x the UI seems "doubled in size". I have 3 monitors, main set to 150% scale, laterals set to 125% scale. Seems that the UI gets confused by this (?) and ends up with very large fonts.

Hi!~ I created an account to report the same issue but in the opposite direction. I have 200% scaling on a 2160p display, and 100% scaling on a 1440p display and am getting the same issue as you with the huge fonts. I changed Windows 10's advanced DPI scaling settings to "Application" and instead of massive text I get 50% sized text, misaligned click boxes, and drop-down menus appearing on different screens.
Currently, virtualbox is nigh-unusable for me:

Huge fonts in VirtualBox Manager

I have similar problem. Three monitors, two with 1920x1200 (100% scaling) and one with 3840x2400 (250% scaling).
VirtualBox manager fonts are sometimes normal and sometimes huge. I cannot find the pattern when the problem exhibits itself.
My host OS is Windows 11, VirtualBox 7.0.12 r159484.
