Discrepancies in GDI Drawings Output with OpenGL Enabled/Disabled in Sierra Chart

I am currently using Sierra Chart version 2629 and have encountered a discrepancy in the output of GDI drawings when OpenGL is enabled compared to when it's disabled. Example, when compiling and running the included GDIExample.cpp file, it displays different when enabled vs disabled.

My question is whether this variance in output is expected behavior, or should the GDI functionality produce consistent results regardless of whether OpenGL is enabled or disabled?

Thank you.

Please see attached screenshots for example. When OpenGL disabled, the second rectangle should be hollow. But it's now filled.

We are not able to reproduce this. The second rectangle in the lower right is not filled when using GDI or OpenGL.

Thank you for looking into this. Here is a screen recording for reference showing the differences I'm having with OpenGL enabled/disabled. I had another person test this and they are getting the same results. Just trying to confirm this is expected behavior or not.

Thank you again for your time.
