Camera is super zoomed out on Microsoft Surface Pro but works as expected on another laptop

This issue is being submitted after discussion from this thread: https://forum.defold.com/t/trying-to-understand-camera-projections-and-game-screen-size/79318/8

In summary, the camera with a zoom of 1 works as expected and appears normal on my msi laptop, i.e. placing tiles at the top left and bottom right of the GUI in the editor appears as below on the msi machine (920 x 1080) resolution:

but the same settings and tiles appear as below on my Microsoft surface pro laptop (2736 x 1824) resolution:

I have been working on a new version of this camera extension which uses the standard Defold camera component instead of a script which mimics the camera behavior. This version of the camera extension also does a best effort DPI ratio calculation on startup to keep zoom consistent regardless of the scaling factor of the screen. You can test this version by setting this as your dependency:

That fixed it, thanks. Setting your new version as the dependency fixed the zoom and resolution problem on my surface pro. Below is a screenshot of the same project pasted above:
