When I add my vst3 plugin to waveform 12, I can’t enable dpi awareness. I can try, but it does not take effect.

In the audio plugin host, my plugin renders with high dpi resolution, and I can enable window resizing for the plugin in the UI, and this disables high dpi awareness - as expected.

Any thoughts on what could cause a vst3 plugin host to fail to enable dpi awareness on this JUCE plugin. Using 7.0.6.

dpi high resolution is fine in Ableton Live when you turn off window resizing. Same behavior as in AudioPluginHost.
