In-Game: [GX.Games] window_set_size() has no effect on local runs from the IDE

[gm-bug-reporter[bot]]

Description

HTML5 and Windows will respect Game/Window size, and calling window_set_size will update it. GX.Games ignores this completely, and will always display the game occupying the whole window.

This is not desirable for testing Pixel Art Games, as non-integer scaling produces not ideal results.

This seems like a bug because the functionality is present on the runner.html onGameSetWindowSize(width,height) exists, but ensureAspectRatio() ignores the width and height, and instead uses: window.innerWidth;

Steps To Reproduce

1) Create a new project 2) Ensure Game Options is set to "Keep aspect ratio" for GX.games 3) Use window_set_size() 4) Notice: HTML5 and Windows respect this, but GX.Games will always fill the whole browser screen.

forgot to add that this happens with keep aspect ratio turned on

Here is my amateurish solution, On runner.html I edit these codes:

function onGameSetWindowSize(width,height)
    {
    startingHeight = height;
    startingWidth = width;
        startingAspect = startingWidth / startingHeight;

    //calls the function to resize the game Canvas.
    ensureAspectRatio(); //<---- - -
  }

function ensureAspectRatio() {     
    (...)
    if (heightQuotient > widthQuotient) {
        // Max out on height, respecting the Height defined by the player.
        newHeight = Math.min(maxHeight, startingHeight); // <---- - -
        newWidth = newHeight * startingAspect;
    } else {
        // Max out on width, respecting the Width defined by the player.
        newWidth = Math.min(maxWidth, startingWidth);  // <---- - -
        newHeight = newWidth / startingAspect;
    }
    (...)
}

Agreed, window_set_size isn't working in gx.games which makes this export unusable. The real question is why bugs like this are not resolved 9 months later?
