Bug description
When I rotate the screen fast and multiple times, especially flipping my Yoga X1 from normal landscape to upside-down and in the middle resizing to potrait mode because I was too slow, the background image zooms in. This can be performed multiple times to even zoom it more.
Steps to reproduce
- Have a laptop with supports automatic screen rotation
- Flip it fast to potrait mode
- Flip it back to landscape mode
- Repeat this multiple times
Expected behavior
No zoomed in background image

Research direction
Start by reproducing the rotation sequence described on Mint 21.3 with Cinnamon 6.0.4 and inspect the desktop background handling around automatic screen rotation. No source file or test is named in the issue, so first locate the rotation and background-image entry points. Done means repeated fast landscape/portrait changes no longer progressively zoom the background.
