Tabs appear blank and Remote Desktop Manager becomes unresponsive

In Remote Desktop Manager tabs displaying embedded web content may appear blank if the display scaling changes while the application is running. In such cases the application may become unresponsive. The issue usually happens when disconnecting displays or using a docking station. This bug arises from limitations within WebView2, as Remote Desktop Manager does not currently use the per-monitor DPI awareness mode.
