Examples do not run or display incorrectly

[jcornall]

Using a freshly installed eqt conda environment, running files in the /examples folder results in one of two issues:

• Incorrectly displayed widgets
• Widgets fail to display entirely

[jcornall]

As a workaround, the following downgrades appear to resolve the issue:

• python=3.12.7 to python=3.11.6
• pyside2=5.15.15-py312 to pyside2=5.15.15-py311

Further investigation is needed to find out why widgets aren't displaying correctly using Python 3.12.
