Ristretto no longer scaling pictures down to fit screen

A week or two ago, a new version of Ristretto (0.12.4) showed up in Debian Testing.

The default behavior of older versions was to scale pictures down so they would fit the screen and you could see the whole picture immediately. The new version does no longer do that: It defaults to showing all pictures in their original size, I have to change the zoom if I want to see the whole picture.

There's a configuration option, in the "Display" tab of the dialogue. I don't know if that's new, I'm not browsing Ristretto's settings all that often. It's labeled "Quality" and it sounds vaguely like it might be related to my issue - it's hard to tell, because IMHO the description is really confusing: it's mixing up "quality" and "size", AFAICT. Enabling or disabling that option does not have any visible effect anyway.

Does anybody else suffer from this problem? Any Idea how to fix this? I checked the issues on Gitlab, but nothing seemed to match. And I'm not even sure if the quality setting is related or not, so I'm reluctant to open a bug report yet.
