VMware Workstation pro 14 scaling issue using Linux VM on a 4k screen 3840x2160 (16:9), going from full screen to console changes scaling from 200% to 100%

[VMworkuser]

My issue is a scaling issue when using a Linux VM (I have tried Ubuntu and Kali Linux) with the display resolution set to 3840x2160 and a scale of 200%. (This resolution and scale is perfect for my laptop.) The scaling changes when going from full screen mode to console mode. Workstation changes the scaling to 100% when in console mode, but when going back to full screen the scalling stays at 100%. I have tried using the Stretch Guest and the Center Guest options but the resolution is not very nice to use, with the black bars around the edges.

I have ensured that VMware Tools is installed on both Linux guest VM's

A bit more about the system I am running if it helps

Vmware workstation pro 14.1.2 build 8497320, 

New Dell XPS 13 9370 with screen resolution of 3840x2160

Windows 10 Host

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM

Kali Linux VM

I have spent several hours looking through the online documentation and reading the discussion boards and googling the issues, I see a few similar issues that others have raised but all are unanswered by Vmware. I am hoping a VMware rep will be reading this and able to give some assistance, I am also aware that colleagues and others are having the same issues with the scaling.

I have found a method of fixing the scaling and thought I would share my findings. The method was found  here.

The command works with VMware workstation pro 14.

The login screen will still be small. Once logged into your VM and in full screen mode, set your display resolution to 3840x2160 (16:9) and set the scaling to 200%, then type and run the following command in your terminal

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2

When you now switch from Full screen mode to Console mode the sclaing of the VM does not change.
