Known issues and limitations

• High DPI support on Windows is disabled by default due to known instabilities with QtWebEngineWidgets in Qt 6.5.3 on Windows which are used by Flow Production Tracking packages. You can still activate High DPI on Windows by setting the “RV_NO_QT_HDPI_SUPPORT” environment variable but we cannot guarantee the results.
• The new High DPI displays support in OpenRV can also be disabled by setting the “RV_NO_QT_HDPI_SUPPORT” environment variable if you encounter any issues with custom OpenRV packages, for example.
