@rastafarra, there are two options on the "Video" tab in the options dialog: "Fullscreen" and "Fake resolution change". Can you try to experiment with those and see if you find a combination of settings that works?
....
Can you launch FO in windowed mode and see if the game works if you use a lower resolution?
I've had the same problem on Mac OS 10.15.4 Catalina. My FO Version is "v0.4.9+ [build 2020-03-30.025f545] CMake".
I get around it by playing fullscreen at 1280-800 resolution (nothing happens in fake-resolution-change). I'm unable to capture screens in fullscreen.

Such workarounds will probably have to suffice for now. Apparently it's not easy to fix this issue properly, and until someone comes along who can tackle this...
