Windows 10: Display scaling bug

This is real interesting and I hope someone has an answer. The display has two places to scale the resolution - either from a predefined list or advanced. I have a checkers program that uses 640 x 480 resolution which gives Windows a belly ache when I select 125% from the list and it resizes all running windows to the same resolution and sticks them up in the left corner. Here is the kicker, if I go to advanced and set it to 125%, it does not resize anything. I would be very interested in the explanation on this one.
