Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Linux with the GLCore driver and adaptive vsync enabled, then compare the fast-forward toggle path with the fullscreen transition that restores vsync. Trace the display and vsync handling involved in enabling and disabling fast forward. Done means vsync remains functional after fast forward is disabled without changing windowed or fullscreen mode.
