The app design was to have screen sharing always fill the screen without
requiring the user to manually zoom it. We have found an issue that can
prevent the sharing to get the full size. We are working on a fix for
this now. This is a client-only fix (no server change required) so we
will ship this in an upcoming client update as soon as it is ready.

This does indeed do as you say, however there's a scenario which I hope you might address.
Shared screen with a much higher resolution than the viewer's screen. and possibly only a window/smaller area of interest to the viewer.
In this case, the viewer would a have a scaled down version of the screen and no way to zoom in to view it at a reasonable size locally. Or maybe a power point in edit mode, where only the presentation in the middle is of interest, and no way to zoom that to full screen to read comfortably.
So while you adequately, zoom small windows up (sometimes too much) . Handling scaled down screens is less functional.
