Dear Chris,
I cannot help you with documentation but I can point you to relevant
problems :) if you happen to have a high-resolution display or a Mac, then
there are several nasty qt5 bugs to be fixed. Sadly I have too limited qt
experience to do it but I will gladly help you with debugging.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50025
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49053
There is already a preliminary patch for #50025, this should tell you where
to look.
Kind regards
Sebastian
