Windows 10: Windows 11 - Scaling issues with multiple monitors

I have two monitors connected to my laptop that are different sizes and resolutions. When I change the scaling, everything is huge on the smaller monitor and extremely tiny on the larger one.

Windows 11 - Snipping Tool issue with multiple monitors with different Scale Settings

I had this issue suddenly appear in Windows 11. I use two large monitors and my laptop. When my large monitors had different scaling (125% to 100%) I had the issued on the snipping tool gray area not covering the entire screen. When I set the scaling on both large monitors to 100% (or equal) the problem went away. BTW: the laptop scaling was set at 12% and I didn't change that.
