Bug Description

Attached is a PNG screen-shot of Pcbnew.

System information:
- OS: Ubuntu 18.10
- Display resolution: 3840x2160, 200% scaling

KiCad (5.1-stable) version information can be found at the bottom of this report.

The working area of Pcbnew (containing white dotted grid) is scaled to the bottom-left 1/4 of the screen. Placing my mouse pointer at the top-right of my screen puts the cross-hair in the middle. As I move my mouse pointer to the bottom-left corner, the cross-hair and mouse pointer converge. This happens when using Modern Toolset (Accelerated), but not Modern Toolset (Fallback).

Workarounds:
- Changing my display resolution to 1920x1080 fixes the problem (for both modern toolsets).
- Changing scaling to 100% (and maintaining 4K resolution) fixes the problem (for both modern toolsets).
