Description

Issue type

UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)

Bug description

When panels are undocked, they are rendered at a lower resolution than the rest of the application, making them appear blurry and unappealing.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open MuseScore
  2. Open a score
  3. Drag a panel out of it's docked position and place it anywhere on the screen OR click the 3 dots and click "Undock"

Additional context

This bug does not occur on my dad's Windows 10 PC on the same version of MuseScore. If it helps, my laptop uses the integrated Radeon graphics of its AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, driver version 22.20.12-220707a-381421C-Lenovo, and his PC has a GTX 1080 with GeForce Game Ready Driver version 537.58.
