Just checked it. YES, it's working as expected; the behavior I reported it gone.
Thanks!

Automating that process would require knowing where there are black bars in the video signal, and we're not currently capable, nor sure how to, go about such a detection.

I'm not sure I've ever seen those right click options before. Neat. I just tried cropping and it worked correctly, making the 2.35 video fill my 2.35 (well, 2.33, but who's counting?) screen. :)
A couple of notes:
1. The various Window > Crop Black Bars > (select). These options all behave identically. They do not variably zoom/crop at all. They all zoom up to what looks like the 2.35 area on a 16x9 frame. Also, the top level "crop" selection does exactly the same thing. I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems like there should be different behavior for the different options.
2. I feel silly now that you said it would be extremely hard to detect aspect ratio. I guess maybe I thought that MC filled out the tags and had the real aspect ratio. I just checked and there is a "factory" supplied field for aspect ratio, but it's not filled out in most of my collection. It's there for a few DVDs I have ripped, but I'm not sure how it got there. It might be neat to try to auto crop based on that field if available. Or not. Just thinking out loud.
Thanks again for the help guys. :)
Brian.

The top-level "Crop" option will always try to fill the screen as well as possible, even if it cuts off image that way. In other words, it'll never introduce new black bars. With this set, the other options are largely irrelevant, because those parts of the image are already off-screen.
Assuming you have it set to "Preserve Aspect Ratio" on the top level (the default), then the Crop Black Bars options should all behave differently and crop a different amount from the image, making it slowly expand toward the available screen width as some of the height is cropped.
Testing the behavior right now, seems to be working as described, too.

Yes, I have the default set for Preserve Aspect. But it does not progressively zoom. What you describe is logical and is what I expected. But it's not what I saw on my home system with the ultra widescreen.

I just tried this on my work macbook pro M1. MC crop options act inconsistently. If I choose crop 2.35 immediately it does nothing. But if I switch to a smaller crop like 1.66 it does it. I would have to record the exact sequence of events, but I've selected the same crop level twice in a two and had it once NOT do anything and the other time the crop works. If you want me to provide more detail I can try to write it up.
Thanks,
Brian.
