What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

[Dolphin emulator's 16:9 aspect ratio used to work perfectly until the code was changed. 16:9 games were all true 16:9 with no black bars on the side. Games also didn't rapidly switch aspect ratios on me when using a 16:9 AR code. The culprit for this issue is Dolphin 4.0-7138 "Aspect Ratio/VI Scaling Fix (PR #2765 from mirrorbender)" I confirmed this by testing 4.0-7135 the version before that one. With 4.0-7135 all Wii games correctly display 16:9 with no black bars on the side. All Gamecube games that are using a 16:9 code also display perfectly with no black bars on the side. Also, the issue where games couldn't make up their mind and would rapidly switch between 4:3 and 16:9 doesn't occur anymore either. I have uploaded 3 videos on YouTube showing the issue which is better than explaining it in text. The first 2 videos showcase the bug where Dolphin can't make up its mind and keeps rapidly switching between 4:3 and 16:9.

Last Video showcases how 4.0-7135 was able to display all games perfectly in 16:9 with no black bars and no issues.]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

[Download the latest Dolphin version and old version 4.0-7138 and compare the way they display games in 16:9 versus the way 4.0-7135 correctly displays them. Please reference my video if needed.]

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

[5.0-9723]

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

[Yes/No and version number here]

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

[4.0-7138]

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

[Windows 10 Pro x64, Intel i7 9900K, GTX 2080 Ti, 16GB DDR4]

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
