Question / Help OBS using 1600x900 resolution when set to 1280x720

I set the video resolution to 1280x720, but it's pretty clear from how the UI snaps and from the final stream that OBS is actually using 1600x900 as the resolution. Why is it doing that, and how can I stop this annoying behavior?

OBS seems to be really, really confused by Windows's UI scaling feature, but I have to use it. My primary monitor is 4k resolution, and it would be hard to see anything without UI scaling enabled.

I'm running OBS on a secondary monitor, which seems to have a 5:4 ratio versus the normal scale or so. Oh wait, isn't that the ratio between 1600 and 1280? =/

This problem goes away when I turn off UI scaling, but then all the text on my screen is too small to read in every application.

I don't expect the new portable version of OBS to work any better, because GIMP has very similar bugs with Windows 8.x's UI scaling enabled.
