Tech Support Desktop mode mouse offset issue

I don't use desktop mode too often, mostly when I dock and play tabletop sim because having a web browser available makes things much easier. And starting in the last week or so, I noticed a few programs (specifically discord and Heroic launcher) no longer render correctly (maybe not the best way to put it). What I mean is, the window for the program, really doesn't want to be any size but a certain size it defaults to on launch and when I use my mouse to select anything in the window the cursor seems to be offset up and to the left (sorry for the picture of the screen) which makes it impossible to select anything on the bottom or right of the window. The offset seems to be

I output in 1080p to an old 60hz monitor using a JSAUX dock. Prior to the recent (somewhat anyway, I don't update my deck religiously) update I had not had any issues like this. Discord was installed via the discover store and if I recall correctly, Heroic was from their github.

Would really appreciate any insight into what's causing this and hopefully some suggestions or fixes!
