Description
First, thank you so much for this tool! One of my projects is stuck on ROS1, and I've quickly been able to get enough of the stack up and running to get work done without having to actually run an unsupported OS =)
It seems like rviz doesn't properly redraw when the window size changes -- the display stretches/shrinks to fit in the window, rather than rendering more/less of the scene and keeping the aspect ratio correct.
Is this a configuration error on my end? Or is it a known limitation of running on MacOS? (I'm on 15.4.1)

Research direction
Reproduce the rviz canvas behavior on macOS 15.4.1 by resizing the window and compare the rendered scene with the supplied screenshots. Determine whether the display should preserve its aspect ratio and update the visible scene, then verify that resizing no longer stretches or shrinks the rendering.
