Research direction

Reproduce the QR sizing behavior on Android in both SVG and Canvas modes, checking auto-scaling and the quiet-zone setting. Trace the relevant QR rendering and settings entry points, then verify that the quiet zone is visible or accounted for and that the QR code size and placement are consistent with the selected value.

Description

bug help wanted

It works somewhat strangely:

  • always "auto-scaling" enabled
  • if you have it in the SVG mode: the padding (quiet zone) is nowhere shown, it is likely outside of the menu
  • if in Canvas mode: although you only have a quiet zone of 1, you get a quite small QR code (at the top!)

Both looks strange…
