Description

Repository: https://github.com/Vlad160/scaling-rive

The issue is in the repository. The window resizes nicely the React component unless you click the "Toggle" button and remount it.
After that resizing stops working.

Extracting Rive animation fully to another component without conditional rendering fixes the issue.

Research direction

Start with the scaling-rive reproduction linked in the issue and inspect the React component's window-resize behavior around the Toggle button and conditional remount. Compare it with the non-conditionally rendered Rive component that avoids the problem. Done means resizing continues to work after the component is toggled and remounted.
