Message box unreadable and cursor not visible

I have two issues.  First, on a screen with resolution of 1920 x 1080, ANY message box that come up is so high that I can not click any button.  I can just barely see the bottom of the box.  Second, on the same resolution as mentioned before the cursor is not visible when I type.  if I move the application window to a monitor with a resolution of 2736 x 1824 all issues go away.  Yes, I understand that I can just use that monitor, but I hate that monitor because it is my Surface tablet.  I'd rather use a real monitor.  Please let me know if any further information is needed.  Thanks.
