Resolution doesn't change just by user action.

For example many Falcon demos change Videl resolution many times,
some of them may do it even many times per second.

Falcon screen scaling code tries minimize number of resulting Hatari
window resolution changes, but it may fail (= require Hatari window
resolution change), depending a bit on the set Atari resolution,
host's monitor resolution and user configured max resolution setting.

Yepyha demo is best (worst :)) example of this:
