Description

**Describe the issue**
This Debian ARM VM is the only VM where the screen resolution somehow gets reset every time I start it, but only when using retina mode. It behaves a bit strange on shutdown also. Normally when shutting down a VM, the VM window after shutdown (showing the big play button) stays at the resolution the VM had. With the Debian VM the window instantly gets reset to the small default size on shutdown. This is the small resolution the VM then actually uses on startup.
I tried it with many different display adapter (virtioramfb-gl, virtio-gpu-gl-pci/device and the versions without GPU support). I also tried it with the "Resize display to window size automatically" option disabled, same issue.

Is this a issue with UTM or Debian? I never encountered this with various other Linux VMs, including Debian x86 with the same installation config and desktop manager.

**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 4.0.9
* macOS Version: macOS 13.1
* Mac Chip: M1 Pro
