Correctly display legacy openmotif v2 applications on HiRes monitors

cn flag

I would appreciate any help with that matter. I have an ancient openmotif v2.2 based application that resides on RHEL v6.0. It processes some data and plots graphs and equitation's. I am connecting to that system from my Windows 10H2 box with Xming XServer installed and via Putty (with X forwarding enabled of course). So far so good, but I noticed that after some upgrade (I changed my NVidia card to RTX A4000 and monitors that support up to 2560x1440) some dialogs start an infinite loop of resizing: a window with graph opens and it cannot stop resizing thus blocking my work with that. I know that is a software bug, for sure, but I can't figure out what to do with that.

I made a small investigation, hope it helps. So I am connecting to RHEL6 from Windows 10 with HiRes 2560x1440, XMing in the form of VcXsrv v.1.20.14.0 (latest) - dialogs resize in a loop. If I downgrade VcXsrv below v.1.14.2.1 - no loop appears, but the dialog is a way too small, I can't even tell what is inside. Also all versions above 1.15 and below 1.13 are somehow slow in connection with Linux box, but I can't understand why.

What I see is that XServer for Windows with versions above 1.14 are taking high resolution into consideration and pass it to Linux openmotif application; that makes it mad with resizing of its controls and widgets.

Is there any way out? No way to upgrade, at least for now. May be there is a solution to zoom XServer applications on Windows side, some parameters. I tried standard font/icons resize of Windows 10 - it just does not affect Linux GUI applications.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
