I think you may leave ifdef here but set: qputenv("QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING", "0"); if it's false as `QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR` is deprecated since qt 5.14.

This patch breaks that which means we've broken the config UI. On my system, when `QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR/QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING` isn't disabled and both display scaling & font dpi scaling is enabled it results in double scaling - all qt apps are unproportionately huge which **makes ui broken without this patch**.
