- Mono Windows Builds don't produce full log callstacks when generating logs

- UI elements with text gets bigger and grey when Player window is moved to another screen with different resolution
- System name accepts multiline text but crops it on confirmation, duplicates input, and shrinks the field when empty
- UI element scale and position are wrong in project build when DRS is changed with HDR and Software Dynamic Resolution enabled
Resolution Note:
Crash is a result of user error and the way mono handles pinvokes providing incorrect data to native functions. The stack provided in the editor log when the crash occurs provides the user with enough information to determine the cause. https://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/pinvoke/
