In Ubuntu 16.04, connecting through vino only shows the top leftmost screen (High DPI screen)
When I connect to my machine with VNC under vino, I only see the top-left side quarter of the screen.
Is there a way to fix it so I can see the whole screen?
Details
My machine is ubuntu 16.04, my screen resolution is 3840x2160
I tried with several VNC clients (tigervnc, tightvnc, remmina), and I tried rebooting the machine several time, but nothing helped.
EDIT:
Both (server and client) machines are high resolution
vnc ubuntu-16.04 high-dpi

Are both machines high-resolution? It's not clear whether the details you give are about the local or remote machine, or both.

I don't have UHD screens, but Remmina on Ubuntu 18.04 works well with HD and 3200x1800monitors, provided I choose the correct scale factor, and I had no problems on 16.04 before I upgraded. Have you tried different scales (eg full-screenRightCtrl+LeftCtrland/or scaledRightCtrl+s)?
