5 Aspect ratio is wrong in windowed mode. - ID: 2816047
Last Update: Comment added ( stokestack )

Playing in windowed mode is very difficult because of wide-angle
distortion. This occurs because the windowed mode doesn't maintain the
aspect ratio of a wide-screen full-screen mode, but it presents the same
field of view. The result is that everything is compressed horizontally.

Thanks for the info. It's quite unexpected to tie the window resizability
to "confine mouse". Also, one would think that the window would retain the
aspect ratio of the full-screen mode that the user selected.

I wouldn't exactly classify this as a bug as the window is simply and
intentionally created at a fixed size that should work on most all systems.
Once windowed, you can resize the window to your desired ratio and you can
start BZFlag directly to a window with your exact desired ratio as well
(see -geometry and -window options).
