MTG Arena switches to windowed mode constantly for ultrawide aspect ratios
As of 2024.40.30.6688.1090994, everytime my client enters or exits a match the game switches from fullscreen mode to windowed mode. The issue only happens when I'm using an ultrawide resolution (3440 x 1440).
The cause of the bug has actually been found by nexus mod user skebbZ, attached is his explanation. (His mod actually fixes this issue)

Ich hatte kürzlich ein ähnliches Problem mit einem Spiel auf meinem Ultrawide-Monitor und war ziemlich genervt, dass der Bildschirm ständig zwischen Vollbild und Fenster wechselte. Um mich ein bisschen abzulenken, habe ich auf https://roulettino.co.at eine Runde Roulette ausprobiert. Nach einigen Fehlversuchen hatte ich dann endlich Glück und einen schönen Gewinn. Besonders die Bonusaktionen für Spieler aus Österreich machen das Ganze spannend, und es war eine nette kleine Pause vom ständigen Bug-Fixen.

3440 x 1440 here. Was working fine with Arena set to 2560x1440/full screen for numerous years and just started having this bug last week. Absolutely terrible. Obviously this is a bug that's been around for years and not properly addressed. To be clear - this is a bug that makes people walk away from playing this game. I will be soon if it's not fixed.

👋 I think I built a small fix for this that you all can use - its a small tray app that runs in the background and automatically restores fullscreen (via ALT + ENTER) if MTGA drops back to windowed mode.
Download it here: https://github.com/leereilly/MTGAFullscreenHelper ✨
If you try it and something breaks (or if it just works and that makes you happy), please let me know. Feedback, feature ideas, weird bugs - everything's welcome!

I finally logged in to see if this was fixed after a few months of just playing in Windowed mode. Sadly, the swap back and forth is still there.
Alt+Enter will make it full screen until state changes. Like:
Entering a Match loading screen
A Match Opponent is Chosen
Match load in
Entering the Lobby after a Loss to Black Discard -

This affects all ultrawide resolutions, e.g. 2560 X 1080.

Hi, sorry for the question, I didn't quite understand what I need to change to ensure that the fullscreen problem no longer occurs
A thousand thanks
