Hello,

To reproduce this bug:

1- Sart MP fullscreen
2- Go to Settings / Screen set-up / Screen Calib. / Pixel Ratio Adjustment set to greater than 1 (1.33 in my case)
3- Go to MyPicures
4- Display any picture with Aspect Ratio wider than the Pixel Ratio you set in step 2. (i.e. any 16:9 or 3:2 picture)
5- You see black bars top, bottom, rigth and left. The pic is windowed when supposed to be fullscreen.
6- If you hit key [1], the pic is set to properly fullscreen.

This issue is specially annoying when viewing slideshows of wide pics, which are becomming more and more common nowadays.

A lot of people are using Screen Calibration to easily adapt all sort of native resolutions to proper screen aspect ratio. This bug has been present in MP since the first version I ever used few years ago. At that time, almost all digital photos were 4:3. These days, 3:2 and 16:9 pics are used very frequently, among a lot other different formats.

Please, I think it's a small fix but requires a lot of knowledge to find where it must be applied. If anyone could have a look into this, I'd be grateful forever!
