Custom resolution on Android Remote Desktop app only offers fixed ratios connected to device screen

I have two Android devices using nonstandard monitor display ratios (21:9, 5:3).  I have previously set up profiles on one of these devices with a 16:9 ratio resolution that matches my remote session's actual physical display.  This prevents a number of strange resizing issues when switching between a local and remote session.  However, in the current latest (beta) version, 10.0.13.1167, I'm now limited to resolutions matching the device's ratio.  Is there a way to change this to allow for picking a ratio, or at least revert to the previous functionality?

 

If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize.  I was linked here from a Remote Desktop support page, and couldn't find a better place via searching.

    Hello! Have you solved the issue eventually? Cause I have the same problem now, and internet does not seem to have a solution

      eliduvid nope, sorry.  I've got two connections on my phone with a fixed resolution at a ratio I actually want, but if I lose those, or if I use another Android device, I'm out of luck.  It's rather frustrating as I've never had good luck with RDP resolution changes, particularly if I have applications open.
