This is not an issue of the subs being displayed incorrectly.
The current behavior is still correct.
What's happening is that the subs are using the dimensions of the video to adjust themselves automatically.
That's done because many subtitle types need to follow this to display properly over the video.
As an example, many ASS subs have tags that position subtitles over exact parts of a video.
If the subs didn't follow the video dimensions, ASS subs containing position tags would not work if the player changes its expected dimensions.
For simple subtitle types like SRT subs, forcing it to use the video dimensions isn't that necessary.
The main dev behind ATV has stated that if enough people want to see the old behavior back, they'll consider working on bringing it back in the future.
But again, the current behavior is not wrong. It's even how VLC handles it from my experience.
