Question - Code Setting up the camera/view for 3D [Potential Bug?]

I'm having a little trouble setting up the view/camera for my 3D game. I followed this guide by Michael to get the 3D all set up, but now I can't seem to be able to set the view/camera size via code.

I suspect this might be a bug, but I decided to ask here in case it isn't and I'm doing something wrong.

My game runs in fullscreen (resolution is 3200 x 1800), but the application surface is still my room size (800 x 640). I used this code to try to set the view wport, hport and camera size to the display size.
Code:
view_enabled = true;
view_set_visible(0, true);
view_set_wport( 0, display_get_width() );
view_set_hport( 0, display_get_height() );

camera = camera_create();

projMat = matrix_build_projection_perspective_fov(60, display_get_width()/display_get_height(), 32, 32000);

camera_set_update_script( camera, camera_update_script);
camera_set_view_size( camera, display_get_width(), display_get_height() );
camera_set_proj_mat(camera, projMat);

view_set_camera(0, camera);
Here is what happens.


And yet, commenting out all of my code, and setting the room view settings to the size I want manually works perfectly fine.

If you don't resize the app surface to match the view/camera then you get the app surface scaled up to fit.
