Description

PROBLEM:
If there's an option for automatic fit to window anymore, I haven't found it yet. I hope you'll re-add that since I liked it most. Btw, thank you for working to fix the subtitles not working automatically (I hate having to click that button every time I load a video). having the subtitles come up reliably every time is a big deal for me and other deaf people.

SOLUTION:
Tell me where auto fit to window is hidden in the settings or maybe adding it back, because I really loved that feature!

ALTERNATIVES:
Dunno. Thanks!

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
Super relevant! Ultra scope! (I'm just being sassy. Thanks again!)

"SIDE EFFECTS":
Dunno. Not doing it would make me a very very sad panda. (I'm really more of a cat person, but a South Park quote seems funnier right now.)

CONTEXT:
Thank you! Automatic fit to window MUCH APPRECIATED! (otherwise very very sad panda)

SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem Sad Panda
Solution Automatic fit to window <3
Alternatives Dunno.
Scope Mega ultra scope!
Side effects Otherwise Sad Panda
Context Meow (Oooops!)
