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
- Open MuseScore
- Open a score
- Drag a panel out of it's docked position and place it anywhere on the screen OR click the 3 dots and click "Undock"
