Lightroom Classic: Previews not rendering at correct resolution in full screen mode, causing blurry views
In my work flow I often use full screen mode from the Develop or Library modules. Occasionally, it looks as if the wrong resolution previews are being shown in that mode.
For example, when I'm in full screen mode and zoom to 1:1, a sharp image appears for about a second, and then it "degrades" and shows a slightly blurry preview that looks (to my eye), like a lower resolution image. If I zoom back out, the image will again appear sharp for a second and then degrade into a significantly blurry image (e.g., see attached for an example of how a sharp image looks degraded in full screen mode).

The image is not "loading". Instead, it almost appears that Lightroom is not correctly identifying what resolution preview to show, and often gets it wrong. This is making it difficult or impossible to judge image sharpness in full screen mode.
I can see the correctly rendered preview by leaving full screen mode and going back into either the Develop or Library modules.
I'm on a Mac using Lightroom Version 7.2, Camera Raw 10.2

However, I then changed my process to stop making the Smart Previews on import, and I'm back to the old behavior.
