ID 611429 - Flix player in full-screen fits the image to the screen instead of letterboxing it

Follow

Problem summary
Flix player in full-screen stretches the image to fit the screen instead of letterboxing it
 
Customer reported version
flix_8.0.0
 
Customer reported platform
windows11
 
Steps to reproduce
1)Create a show and panels in an aspect ratio different from the computer display Flix is using.

2)Open the player in full-screen mode
 
Expected behaviour
The image for the panel should use the full screen, but be letterboxed to keep the panel aspect ratio
 
Actual behaviour
The panel is scaled to fit the full screen. This makes the image have a different aspect ratio, and it can look blurry and/or wrong. This happens regardless if the Flix client is running in window or full-screen mode.
 
Workaround
Click the full-screen button in the player controls once to go back to normal mode and then again to go back into full-screen mode. This might not always work; you might also need to clear your cache (Flix/File->Settings/Preferences->Advanced->Clear Local Asset Cache) and reload the Flix window View->Reload.
