 RescaleAtRuntimeDisclaimer = EXPERIMENTAL! Activating this option will dynamically scale all windows according to the monitor they are currently in. It will also set the default browser to Edge in order to provide the appropriate scaling of content displayed in a browser. This feature is still in development and therefore considered experimental.
+EdgeBrowserDisclaimer = Note that the usage of Edge may currently lead to flickering when resizing a browser window (see <a href="https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/1122">this issue</a> for more details).
