Minecraft's resolution decreases slightly when exiting and re-entering fullscreen.
I was testing out the quality of my videos on OBS studio when I discovered this issue. I noticed this issue only because of a strange double effect in my videos. (2 photos are added as attachments. One shows the double effect in OBS studio [2024-04-25 205303-1] while the other shows it in the gamer's perspective with some elements such as the version number slightly cut off.)
When I open Minecraft, it opens at 3840x2160p as usual. However, it decreases slightly when the game exits and re-enters fullscreen. By using OBS studio and some basic math, I figured out the resolution decreases to 3799x2137p.
I know this is a small bug, but by patching it, that would prevent some confusion in the future for any streamers, YouTubers, etc.
Edit: The double effect happens because there's one source in OBS recording just the game and another source that records everything on the computer. So I removed the one for just the game and the double effect problem is solved. Whether this bug is eventually fixed fully or not, It won't be nearly as big of a problem now.

I have the same issue. My post is MCPE-180991
Mine does describe it as a slightly lower resolution, but I also saw some other glitches you pointed out.
And yes I use an RTX card and have a 4K 2160p monitor.


For those that are especially annoyed by this bug, you can press F12 twice rapidly and see if that works. (It worked for me)
You do have to try a few times, but once it's in the proper resolution, everything should go smoothly.
Thank you for your report!
