UWP app is not scaling

I'm trying to make text editor for Windows (PC) in UWP but the scaling is not working, I've done the same in WPF and it worked.

The page size is set to 800x600, these are columns:

 <Grid Background="White" >
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <TextBlock x:Name="filename" Margin="10" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">Untitled</TextBlock>
        <Border Margin="5" Grid.Row="1">
            <TextBox x:Name="text" AcceptsReturn="True"
                     ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
                     ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" TextChanged="text_TextChanged"/>
        </Border>
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="2"  Margin="3,3" Orientation="Horizontal" MinHeight="31" >
            <Button x:Name="saveButton" FontSize="15" Content="Save" Margin="0,0,0,-0.125" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="saveButton_Click"  />
            <Button x:Name="button" Content="Save as..."  Margin="5,0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Click="button_Click" />
            <Button x:Name="loadButton" FontSize="15" Content="Read" Margin="5,0" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Click="loadButton_Click"/>
        </StackPanel>
</Grid>

Title is in 1st row, content is in 2nd, buttons (save, load) are in 3rd, it looks like grid it wouldn't exist:

That's with normal size

After size change

How do I fix it?

The page size is set to 800x600

If you've set the page size to 800x600 like this: <Page Width="800" Height="600"... it will always be 800x600 and it will not scale. If you want it to scale properly, just don't set these properties.

I assume you wanted to set the size of the app when it starts for the first time. You can approach it by setting the ApplicationView.PreferredLaunchViewSize.

Also I recommend to use the RichEditBox to display and edit text files.
