Dear Xara...
As you have not bothered, the failure is still there in XDPX 365 v15 because there is an undeclared limit to the chs parameter, widthxheight, in the https://developers.google.com/chart/.../docs/qr_codes. The limit is 457x457.
Please note this API is deprecated and has not been supported since 20 April 2015.
Every time one resizes the QR code, the Bitmap gallery adds another image of over 1MB.
You bitmap has an excessively large white border.
You need to address this.
It would involve a fresh approach.
qrcode.js & qrcode_config.js are impacted.
You need to consider SVG generation. You are a vector program!
You need to consider a Dynamic QR Code service.
I currently use https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/ as a free service. Other web generators are available.
