Unfortunately this issue has not been addressed by the QGIS community for
some time. If you would like to expedite the resolution of this issue and
more like it, please refer to the <a href="
https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/facilitation.html">facilitating
development</a> guide for information on how to sponsor the development of
this functionality.

And make a facilitation page that explains the various resolution options
nicely.

Not sure if that's OK for non-native speakers
