Screenshot showcasing the unfortunately squashed layout

SUMMARY

When using Multicam Tool, the screen area that contains the previews of all the cams is limited to the resolution and proportion of the project instead of filling the entire screen real estate available to the Project Monitor


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a project with multiple overlapping videos
2. Widen the panels so Project Monitor is wider than the project resolution
2. Enable Multicam tool

OBSERVED RESULT

Multicam previews are only occupying a small portion of the monitor and thus are squashed and tiny when they could be much bigger (see attached screenshot)

EXPECTED RESULT

Preview occupies more of the screen available to the Project Monitor
