VLC MacOS: "Resize Interface to the Native Video Size" Setting Not Working

[badadjective]

The "Resize Interface to the Native Video Size" setting in Preferences>Interface (screenshot linked) does not disable resizing when unchecked. To clarify, if I uncheck the setting, the interface still resizes to whatever the video size is; the setting remains unchecked, but nothing happens. I've tried resetting all settings to default and trying again but VLC exhibits the same behavior. Further, if unchecked, the options in the "Video" portion of the menu bar for "Half Size", "Double Size", etc. stop working also. Am I missing another setting somewhere to make this work the way it's supposed to?

The VLC help forum was not helpful.

After re-installing VLC, the video now fits the default interface size (at app start). However, the menu bar "Video" options for "Half Size", "Normal Size", and "Double Size" still do not work with this setting left unchecked (Resize Interface to the Native Video Size).

Any thoughts? Is this a known bug?

I'm not sure you will find a lot of VLC users in this forum. You'd better retry on VLC official forum, but who knows, maybe you will find the help you hoped for.

Isn't this as intended? If you are not resizing the interface based on the video resolution you cannot resize it to half or 2x the video resolution either.

Sorry if I am missing something, VLC and Mac are both far from my comfort zone. ;)
