Research direction

Start by locating the horizontalFov implementation and the Orthographic and Perspective camera projection entry points. Compare their current behavior and identify how the issue can be reproduced for an Orthographic camera. Done means horizontalFov works for Orthographic cameras as well; no file or test is named, so the expected semantics need confirmation.
