 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed issue where window resize events were handled twice when using window-based display modes (FitScreen, FitScreenAndFill, FitScreenAndZoom, FillScreen), causing double resolution/viewport computation and double canvas size writes
 - Fixed issue where `scaleTo({…})` and `scaleBy({…})` actions would cause entities to keep scaling indefinitely after the action completed, due to a copy-paste bug that zeroed `angularVelocity` instead of `scaleFactor`
 - Fixed issue where `scaleTo({…})` and `scaleBy({…})` actions used a live reference to the entity's scale vector as the interpolation start point, causing the easing curve to be corrupted if the entity's scale changed during the action
 - Fixed issue where the first action in a sequence would not execute after calling `clearActions()` mid-execution. All action types now properly reset their initialization state when stopped, resolving issue #3468
