bug: changing font scale doesn't trigger onSettingsChanged or getInitialView in simulator

I'm not 100% sure how this works on real devices, as I don't have a relevant device, but in the simulator in SDK 8.3.0 (i.e venu441mm) onSettingsChanged() isn't called, nor is getInitialView() (as for example when changing time setting between 12h and 24h)

    Neither is onLayout called.

    onUpdate works (I mean I can call System.getDeviceSettings().fontScale in onUpdate or compute, and it returns the new value after the change), but it's not a real solution, nor is it parallel to how other settings trigger onSettingsChanged. 

    I wonder though, if this is a simulator bug or Garmin really forgot this trigger somehow from real devices as well.
